If it is impossible to prevent concentration (and I don't believe it is), then oligopolists will have to accept some legal obligations that smaller companies don't have.

It is simply unacceptable that you can be kicked off extremely dominant platforms without explanation or recourse and often without even getting your data back.

There has to be a higher barrier to obliterating someone's livelihood.

I think K0SM0S is making a more "turtles all the way down" point.

In that concentration is inevitable, not exempting any possible legal framework.

So government / legal isn't a solution, only radical innovation.
