It is an unprecedented challenge to strike the correct balance between regulatory burden and trade facilitation that often result in either vicious cycles or virtuous cycles that determine whether corporations and Trusts will merge and grow bigger to take advantage of the often misunderstood and under-appreciated concept of economies of scale. The antitrust laws had been actively breaking down and enabling Rollback to sizes perceived as manageable and not threats to the governments, the FTC, and the interstates rather than to competition. This has been going on for the past seventy years or even more with little or no progress. We believe mankind is still in the defensive stage of development when we should be in networking and cooperation. Where we use advanced technology to share ideas and develop technologies that will take us out of this defensive stage. The question is this. Are the FTC, the interstate, and the governments doing the right thing in attacking these tech giants? Going after each one of them with a direct pre-planned goal. To interrogate, accuse, rip them off through fines then break them up into smaller sizes " to facilitate competition and provide a free market" at the same time creating value for the consumer?” Then Rollback all to sizes perceived as safe and not threats. Or it is time we all argue that these agencies use the Rule of Reason as we believe that not all corporations or antitrust are evil. Some are good and are the only ones to take us to the next stage of development. Is it not time to let these tech giants lead the way? Do you know that 70 % or more of the most powerful entities in the world are corporations and Trusts? Big enough with vast resources to turn things around for us. Is it not time to let these lead the way? Is it not also time for a new global legal framework? Surely the growth of these has surpassed those at the time the Sherman Act was enacted in 1890 when the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice were tasked to deal with these. Is it not the time for a real global leader to act as a referee between these FTC, interstates, governments, and these corporations? I think it is time for Tomorrow's World Order to guide and act as the overseer. To lead mankind to the next stage of development. Surely, we can’t afford to waste any more time. The context in which these antitrust laws were enacted must be considered. We think it is not only a miscarriage of justice but grossly flawed and a criminal offence on the part of the Federal Trade Commission and its allies to consider that carrying out a SWOT analysis and acting on the results is an anti-competitive tactic. Remember they follow the legal corporations or company’s act. When this tactic is a legally approved method to deal with the issues of the lack of incentives to invest. The need to merge and gain economies of scale to overcome and conquer the vicious cycle and go to the virtuous stages. Corporations do what they do because this is the only way they can go to the next stage. A stage that will see them realise economies of scale and be able to offer the highest quality products at lower prices different from what the FTC and its allies are regarding as benefits. What can be beneficial to the consumers if the products are: okay cheaper. But of poor quality, as compared to what can be achieved? What do you call competition and variety when you refer to small-sized early entry companies most of whom only make a profit to remain in business without any to invest? That makes us ask. What are the real motives of these agencies? Are they milking these tech giants or planning to? Who are the real people or agencies harming the people? Are all these agencies clean or they are the worst competition blockers? Masters of poor service provisions and involved in human-hacking for stealing data secretly and using this to get illegal donations as they pass tips? We know tech giants breach privacy and personal data laws too.

"The Case for the Digital Platform Act" is a new book from Harold Feld, Senior Vice President of Public Knowledge and longtime communications industry advocate, in collaboration with Public Knowledge and the Roosevelt Institute. This book aims to guide policymakers on what government can do to preserve competition and empower individual users in the huge swath of our economy now referred to as "Big Tech." Many Americans now wonder how they can reassert control over their lives after ceding so many decisions about our economy and our public discourse to private actors like Facebook, Google, and Amazon. But as Feld points out, we have faced similar challenges from new technologies before. Looking at more than a century of disruptive communications technologies from the telegraph to television to Twitter, Feld picks out patterns of what approaches have worked (and what hasn't) to promote competition, empower consumers and protect democracy. "The Case for the Digital Platform Act" provides a deep dive for policymakers on everything from specific recommendations on how to promote competition to a "First Amendment checklist" for content moderation, while remaining accessible to the general reader looking to participate in the debate over our digital future. Feld explains the need for a "Digital Platform Act" and for an agency specifically charged to regulate digital platforms on an ongoing basis. He proposes a new method of assessing a platform's dominance for purposes of new regulation. He also addresses questions around content moderation rights and responsibilities for companies that have found themselves policing the new public square, all while preserving the best things about digital platforms for their users. Praise for "The Case for the Digital Platform Act": "[...] a tour de force of the issues raised by the digital economy and internet capitalism. Whether you agree or disagree with Harold, these thoughts will stretch your intellect and stimulate your thinking." -Tom Wheeler, Former Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, Visiting Fellow at The Brooking Institution "You'd be shortchanging yourself by not reading the book of such a principled advocate." -Hal Singer, Managing Director at Econ One Research, Adjunct Professor at Georgetown University's McDonough School of Business, Senior Fellow at George Washington's Institute of Public Policy "I'd bet you can't listen to Harold Feld talk about the Digital Platform Act and not think we need it as law right now. I'm glad Harold Feld and Public Knowledge are making the case for government to do the job Silicon Valley won't." -Chris Savage, Eclectablog

Internet intermediaries play a unique role in linking authors of content and audiences. They may either protect or jeopardize end user rights to free expression, given their role in capturing, storing, searching, sharing, transferring and processing large amount of information, data and user-generated content. This research aims to identify principles for good practices and processes that are consistent with international standards for free expression that Internet intermediaries may follow in order to protect the human rights of end users online.

This book asks a simple question: are the tech giants monopolies? In the current environment of suspicion towards the major technology companies as a result of concerns about their power and influence, it has become commonplace to talk of Google, Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, or Netflix as the modern day version of the 19th century trusts. In turn, the tech giants are vilified for a whole range of monopoly harms towards consumers, workers and even the democratic process. In the US and the EU, antitrust, and regulatory reform is on the way. Using economics, business and management science as well legal reasoning, this book offers a new perspective on big tech. It builds a theory of "moligopoly". The theory advances that the tech giants, or at least some of them, coexist both as monopolies and oligopoly firms that compete against each other in an environment of substantial uncertainty and economic dynamism. With this, the book assesses ongoing antitrust and regulatory policy efforts. It demonstrates that it is counterproductive to pursue policies that introduce more rivalry in moligopoly markets subject to technological discontinuities. And that non-economic harms like privacy violations, fake news, or hate speech are difficult issues that belong to the realm of regulation, not antimonopoly remediation.

In this outstanding new book Professor Keith Hylton and his collaborators examine what antitrust law has become over the past ten years, a time in which economic analysis has become its undisputed core. What has become of the old antitrust doctrine, what are the new issues for the immediate future? This book brings together the leading experts to examine this silent revolution at the core of US domestic policy. Mark Grady, UCLA School of Law, US Hylton s Antitrust Law and Economics brings together many of the best authors writing in antitrust today. Their essays range widely, covering proof of agreement under the Sherman Act, group boycotts, monopolization and essential facilities, tying and other vertical restraints, and merger policy. The writing is clear, accessible but still technically sophisticated and comprehensive. This book represents the best in contemporary antitrust scholarship, by authors who understand and are able to communicate the centrality of economic analysis to antitrust. No antitrust lawyer, serious antitrust student, or antitrust economist should be without this book. Herbert Hovenkamp, University of Iowa College of Law, US This comprehensive book provides an extensive overview of the major topics of antitrust law from an economic perspective. Its in-depth treatment and analysis of both the law and economics of antitrust is presented via a collection of interconnected original essays. The contributing authors are among the most influential scholars in antitrust, with a rich diversity of backgrounds. Their entries cover, amongst other issues, predatory pricing, essential facilities, tying, vertical restraints, enforcement, mergers, market power, monopolization standards, and facilitating practices. This well-organized and substantial work will be invaluable to professors of American antitrust law and European competition law, as well as students specializing in competition law. It will also be an important reference for professors and graduate students of economics and business.

This open access monograph argues established democratic norms for freedom of expression should be implemented on the internet. Moderating policies of tech companies as Facebook, Twitter and Google have resulted in posts being removed on an industrial scale. While this moderation is often encouraged by governments - on the pretext that terrorism, bullying, pornography, "hate speech" and "fake news" will slowly disappear from the internet - it enables tech companies to censure our society. It is the social media companies who define what is blacklisted in their community standards. And given the dominance of social media in our information society, we run the risk of outsourcing the definition of our principles for discussion in the public domain to private companies. Instead of leaving it to social media companies only to take action, the authors argue democratic institutions should take an active role in moderating criminal content on the internet. To make this possible, tech companies should be analyzed whether they are approaching a monopoly. Antitrust legislation should be applied to bring those monopolies within democratic governmental oversight. Despite being in different stages in their lives, Anne Mette is in the startup phase of her research career, while Frederik is one of the most prolific philosophers in Denmark, the authors found each other in their concern about Free Speech on the internet. The book was originally published in Danish as Dit opslag er blevet fjernet - techgiganter & ytringsfrihed. Praise for 'Your Post has been Removed' "From my perspective both as a politician and as private book collector, this is the most important non-fiction book of the 21st Century. It should be disseminated to all European citizens. The learnings of this book and the use we make of them today are crucial for every man, woman and child on earth. Now and in the future." Jens Rohde, member of the European Parliament for the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe "This timely book compellingly presents an impressive array of information and analysis about the urgent threats the tech giants pose to the robust freedom of speech and access to information that are essential for individual liberty and democratic self-government. It constructively explores potential strategies for restoring individual control over information flows to and about us. Policymakers worldwide should take heed!"
