Different rules apply with scale. HN is fine doing whatever it does but global monopolies require special handling.

Where does your cutoff apply? At what point are there "too many users"? How would you prevent something like that from being a completely arbitrary platform killer?

The courts would decide just like they do when a company is thought to have become a monopoly. This is not a new problem entirely but in this hyper politicized moment in the country it somehow has turned, just like everything else, into a left vs right issue. Its pathetic how we lost the hability to look at the issues without partisan glasses.
