Consumers don’the have to use them. That said, if any of these tech giants are violating contracts, pulling a fast one on investors, et al, then there civil and/or criminal courts for that.
Easy....the GOP-e who want to spy on everyone along with the RATS who want to use them as a weapon.
Mostly McCain and Linda were pushing this under threat of flipping RAT.
These are near monopolies. We once had anti-trust laws to deal with such companies. Republicans as well as Democrats kept approving bigger is better and market consolidation from banks to specific technologies. It has not been a success for anyone except the globalists.
