The case for ending Amazon’s dominance
Maybe I’m alone in this, but I feel like if you’re going to break up a company with antitrust regulation you should at least be able to point to a way they’re abusing their power or are making a worse experience for customers. The article goes as far as to admit that Amazon is currently not doing anything wrong.<p>Should we really seek to regulate away hard-earned (and valuable!) advantages because they <i>make it possible</i> to abuse the position? Surely we should wait until they’re actually abusing it?<p>As an aside, I can’t think of any advantage Amazon has that wouldn’t open up opportunities for a competitor should they start to abuse them. That’s the goal of capitalism, in a sense; you have to be great or people just go elsewhere. Seems odd to fight against that.
