MODERATORS
Relying on "the people" to uphold consumer rights usually doesn't make much ground. We've already lost so much we'll never get back. People are just too busy dealing with their own lives to be concerned about it. This is how corporations get away with what they do. The public lets it happen. As sure as the sun rises every day, corporations like Google and Apple will continually extend their reach.
It think it was unusual the US government perused an anti-trust suit over the MS browser monopoly early 2000s. The climate is much more forgiving now. I'd be surprised if we ever see a lawsuit like that again, as deserving as it may be.
