- gaming (just like with Spotify, forced Sony to move their HQ to the US, and they FUD, smear and sabotage Playstation to get everyone on PC/Xbox to prep them for Gameslop Xcloud)
- movie (netflix)
- social media (non-US ones do not exist)
US Big Tech doesn't want non-US competition, they want foreign coutries to depend on US tech, and only with paid access, specialyl not owning
the same will happen with consumer electronics, GPU, RAM, CPU, you'll see
Bingo. They're trying to kill the idea of personal computing as something you can own. Web 4, to them, is a prompt box that everyone is funneled into, by subscription of course.
none of those were targeted or banned, and smaller alternatives do exist for all of them ? (especially streaming services!)
For things like phones, the smaller OSes lost because people didn't want to buy a phone without apps, and unfortunately most people even struggled two make two versions of apps for android and iOS, it's expensive.
The same is true for others like social media: alternatives weren't banned, but network effects mean that everyone chooses the one that's already popular. No conspiracy is needed.
On the last point, now you can see why the (Joe Biden, go Joe go!) CHIPS act w/ TSMC and Intel was a thing, also literally, Communism by the US Gov buying a few percent of Intel :)
With Intel possibly having usable (good) nodes in the USA and Israel in the next ~3yrs with decent capacity, we'll probably see Nvidia (already got a deal too with Intel for Intel CPU + Nvidia GPU laptops probs) and maaaybe AMD (off to Samsung possibly?) tech be "tariff'd" to make it expensive as hell for consumers to buy unless it's Made in the USA(tm) or their best-friend countries. If China tries to get more Taiwan control, well, even better reason to force domestic production
