How to control Tech Oligopolies

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

Nobody cares if Bill Gates gets richer because of tax cuts?

Forbes is a card-carrying member of the 1%. His arguments are ludicrous. Of course, Joe Six pack does not care, because he does not know or better - the numbers involved are so absurd and beyond the comprehension of the average citizens that he CANNOT care! But the Billionaires' wealth is not 'created', it is redistributed, like the wealth of feudal lords was not 'created', they took their lands and the majority had to put up with it. In those days it was just brute force, now it is ideology supported by media that is basically controlled by the 1% (remember: free speech means that 200 rich people are allowed to say what they want you to hear, think Murdoch, Barclay Brothers etc).
This ideology perpetuates the 'trickle down' effect, so if Louis XIV builds his Versailles the workers benefit from the expenditure. Now of course the capitalist (better: free market) system needs free interplay to generate a growing and productive economy. But with the wrong signals and rules of the game we get absurd results. People who make billions playing the markets, benefiting from market failure and rigged rules that preserve them (copyright, corporate law, tax subsidies for financial gambling casinos).
All these are the result of a lack of democratic control where the lobbies of the (Super)Rich control the state and prevent full and public discussion. Paying the multitudes off with 'Welfare' and driving them into ever-larger indebtedness (to the Haves, as every debt is the asset of someone else) has led us to the present situation where a public revolt is becoming increasingly likely. Populism will become more and more 'popular'.

Football - how Capitalism has been bastardised

No criticism about how the 15 made their fortunes - that is a story for another posting. But the developments in professional football have two lessons about how Capitalism has been taking the wrong turn - not because the system is inherently flawed but thanks to poor political and governance decisions.
Football is pretending to be a sport based on a Club system, not a business. So it should be up to club members to control the organization. Limiting individual votes would cut out rich oligarchs out of the scene in an instant.
Similarly, opening up television rights to proper competition and maybe limiting copyright would result in a drastic cut of revenues that could be splashed out on absurd compensation packages.
