Which goes back to how "little" the internet actually is. I used to believe the internet was the wild west of capitalism, but in fact it's controlled by the elite, just like any other major industry.
I am honestly wondering if the governments (US, EU, etc) are picking winners and losers ala China. Deciding who can and can't make it as a company or who gets the investment capital needed to become a major company. It would be a great way to control the private sector.
Communism failed, so a new form of control was needed.

Sounds like reality TV. Just like Shark Tank. I hate that show.
