Time to break up Tech Oligopolies

Are politicians in the pockets of Big Tech? All these firms use strength in their core business to expand their dominating position. Remember: In the USA film studios were forced to divest their cinema chains - so Netflix should stay out of film production, Amazon not offer third-party selling, Apple get out of music business etc

Apple sends warning to banks with Australian mobile payments decision

Time to get tough with the (mostly) American Oligopolies (that try to become de-facto monopolies). If Apple sells a phone it should not be allowed to control the content. In the case of payment systems there should in any case a requirement to make them open to all. There is only one telephone network for landlines, imagine the Telcos could tell you who you would be allowed to call!
So break up Apple, the USA  trustbusters of the early 19th century knew what they had to do!
Same for Google, Yahoo, Facebook - not control of search history or mixing search function with other lines of business.
Amazon should only be allowed to sell for other businesses or on its own account. Running a platform as well as a business is clearly stifling competition.
