When a private company achieves de facto monopoly status, they begin to lose the ability to make arbitrary decisions. See utility companies for example. Disney isn’t there yet, but Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube are for all practical purposes, monopolies.
How can Twitter and Facebook be monopolies when they are essentially direct competitors?
YouTube has competitors as well. Like Vimeo or even TikTok.
And just for sheets and giggles do you know what the most shared stories on Facebook happen to be week in and week out?
