Robinson-Patman—“passed in the 1930s to stop A&P from forcing suppliers to sell to it at cheaper prices than A&P’s smaller competitors. The law was so effective that the 8 largest chains combined controlled just 25% of the marketplace from 1954 to 1982.…

“But when the Reagan admin stopped enforcing R-P, & the biggest players started to demand special discounts from suppliers, [who] demanded more from smaller grocers to make up lost profits.”

Her AG career was corrupt/contemptible. NEVER prosecuted ONE corporate crime.

'As part of her biz community charm offensive, #KamalaHarris recently hosted Visa CEO McInerney at her (official) residence in Washington, part of a gathering of corporate chief executives... The invitation is remarkable given that just last week the #Biden-#Harris #DOJ sued Visa for breaking #antitrustlaw and ripping off customers and small biz to the tune of billions of dollars.'

The Indian government is currently examining a panel's February report that proposed a new "Digital Competition Bill" to complement existing antitrust laws. A key US lobby group has already opposed the move, fearing its business impact.

www.justice.gov · Justice Department Joins Lawsuit Challenging National Collegiate Athletics Association’s (NCAA) Transfer Eligibility RuleToday, the Justice Department joined 10 states and the District of Columbia in a civil antitrust lawsuit challenging the National Collegiate Athletics Association’s (NCAA) Transfer Eligibility Rule. The amended complaint alleges that the NCAA unreasonably restricts college athletes’ freedom to transfer between academic institutions by limiting their eligibility to participate in intercollegiate contests if they transfer more than once during their college careers. By deterring transfers, the rule also denies athletes educational opportunities.

Additionally, we allow paid advertisement/promotion for any of the prohibited social media platforms."
Is linking to a #personalblog or #businesswebsite allowed? What if you have links to other #SocialMediaPlatforms there?

For a firm with substantial market power to impede transfer / multi-homing to hold on to users while depriving competitors of network effects (here, not only indirect, but also direct network effects) is problematic, to say the least.
