They have a staggering amount of power - influencing everything from our shopping baskets to our world view. In the past two decades, a small number of huge companies have come to shape our daily lives in profound ways. For a long time, their power grew almost unchallenged. But those days appear to be over. In both the US and the EU, authorities are cracking down on big tech companies like Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft and Meta - accusing them of anti-competitive practices. DW Business speaks with William Kovacic, former chair of the Federal Trade Commission and Director of the Competition Law Center at George Washington University about the meaning of fair competition, whether the culture of regulation is shifting and how authorities can keep up with a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

A duopoly is still as undesirable as a monopoly. One part of a duopoly comes to town creates a closed system, and then they make it super expensive to use. Sounds like you are trying to prevent free exits of the system and free entry by being that expensive. Apple could have been a Microsoft-like monopoly if their ecosystem isn't closed and restrictive. You might be the only shopping mall in town, but shoppers still prefer to choose the products they use from all kinds of manufacturers, from cheap to the expensive according to their taste and wallet.

Apple employees very rarely fix hardware their excuse its cheaper if you upgrade. At our University we had to hire a tech to fix Apple hardware because their warranty sucks. Then you have google who has set a deadline to delete your pictures. then Facebook say your information belongs to them. Thought privacy laws were to protect us but not against these giants.
