I’m not convinced the solution to anything is government picking winners, nor telling other people what they, the government themselves, are going to do with their, the people / companies, money.

And how to I get support for the products I just bought when your government regulators terminate the existing of the product developer / manufacturer.

What other mechanism can there exist that would have the power to change the behaviour of these giant corporations, except government?
