It's called a monopsony[1], regardless, antitrust regulation is famously dead under the current US administration.

Regulation is dead under this current US administration (unless you pay a bribe). It's so weird this is where we are right now and most of the tech leadership has to play along even though it's technically illegal?


> most of the tech leadership has to play along

Many of them orchestrated the situation.


very cool word, but I think the etymology stated in Wikipedia is wrong.

the second part of the word just means purchase (in a weird ancient Greek tense). there's no relation to fish whatsoever.

(I'm Greek)


Antitrust has been dead for decades. It spans administrations and parties.


Under Biden they at least tried


sometimes i wonder if thats big tech pivoted to team red...
