> Blocking alternatives with economic incentives is now forbidden, but blocking the access using code is allowed. This is stupid.

I don't think that's stupid. Blocking access using code is an honest act. Everyone knows the rules and can build their business accordingly. Blocking alternatives with economic incentives is manipulative. It gives the impression that the platform is open to competition, when it isn't.

Blocking access using guns is an honest act. Everyone knows the rules and can build their business accordingly.

Therefore, I support the Mexican drug cartels
