A new effort has not be made to control the power of the FAANG oligopolies. Similar to the Trust-busting period of the early 1900's. These firms provide products that are superior but the nature of this new wave of technology leads to a winner-takes-all situation and dominance by the market leader. So let's look at the major players one by one:
Google - should not be allowed to favor paid ads, no collecting of individual search histories, full publication of search 'algorithm', no cross-selling of other Google products
Amazon - break up the hybrid model, sell own products or third party products
Apple - do not allow exclusive App store, Pay system
Facebook - do not allow collecting and use of search histories
Netflix - do not allow mix of platform and own production (Film studies had to divest cinemas in the USA)
Microsoft - end the copyright protection, long overdue
