Two things most important from the hearing were 1. Zuckerberg emails that say what we all knew: They buy or bury rivals by copying and there are the emails saying so. Neutralize and land grab are not the words of innovators.
And when Bezos said, because he correctly surmised he had to: “What I can tell you is we have a policy against using seller-specific data to aid our private label business. But I can’t guarantee you that policy has never been violated.”
You can’t steamroll over startups unfettered and cannot be the market maker and sell fairly into that market. Power does corrupts and absolute power? It destroys is what it actually does and cannot help itself from doing that because that is what it must do.
There is so much promise in innovation and we need to let the light in again except for all the giant trees blocking the sun.
