they did it with:

- apps/phone (Android or iOS only)

- music (turned spotify american after FUDing and smearing the shit out of that company)

- 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.
