Elizabeth Warren says Apple, Amazon and Google are trying to 'lock out' the competition
http://www.recode.net/2016/6/29/12060804/elizabeth-warren-apple-google-amazon-competition Warren had different beefs with Google, Apple and Amazon, but the common thread was that she accused each one of using its powerful platform to "lock out smaller guys and newer guys," including some that compete with Google, Apple and Amazon. - - - Bull. The same old attempts to justify more government regulation of firms whose competition is just a damned click away. If you want to encourage competition in these spaces, push hard for net neutrality, so that the underlying infrastructure that Internet users depend on for *all* Net communications can have real, meaningful competition. That's where government intervention makes sense. And how come Warren is so quiet about Facebook?
