Great technology doesn’t allow you to leave. Here’s a way to go out
This platform is a conventional form of Internet trade: a two -way market that facilitates communication between end users and business customers. Uber connects drivers with riders. Amazon and eBay attach sellers to buyers. Tiktok and YouTube connect the presenters with the audience. Social media connects people with something to say with people who want to hear it.
And however, the Lax Competition Act has allowed companies to be consolidated in their markets. At the same time, consolidated sections, reading with one voice, blocking adoption of adverse regulations (there are still no US national privacy law) or its implementation (EU -Public Data Protection Code, shows that Ireland is even as a taxpayer even as a taxpayer).
The operating systems, depending on competition or adjustment, can be indescribable, they can “enshital”, in which the company gives value on both sides of the two -way market and relying on the lock to prevent users and commercial customers from defects to a competitor. 2023 was the time when the operating systems were poured: Twitch, Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Google Search and Discord all were variable in terminals and transferred value from users to shareholders and dismissed half -dead things that were undeniable but unacceptable.
The secret of this high self-confidence is “costs of replacement”-the so-called economists for the things you need to leave to leave a service. You hate Facebook, but you would like to communicate with your communities, friends and customers. They take you hostage in favor of Facebook – and you take hostage. Facebook literally at these high -switching costs of banks: The US Federal Commerce Commission’s anti -Monopoly Case revealed internal notes in which a product manager explicitly designates features “Switching costs too much for users” To make it very difficult for the user to become a competing service.
The regulators are increasingly living to the fact that BIG Tech deliberately designs its products to impose high costs for users who are eager to prefer their competitors. If a company fails to provide official accessories to users to take its data, or continue communicating with the contacts who leave the operating systems when changing operating systems, these users will go a few. Operation of a conventional reverse engineering a competing platform for building an informal and integrated bridge-said that the tool that kills your Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and other messages for a joint inbox in a new service with respect to privacy-effectively by reflection, patent laws, patents, patents, patents
Despite these barriers to exit that connects users to bad operating systems, most of the monitoring response to Big Tech is aimed at making it better, not easier to crack. We continue to create laws for major techniques for lack of information, police harassment, and a number of other evils, but with the adoption of the EU digital market law (DMA), we ultimately focus our focus on building large technology. More important It is less sticky to its users.
The DMA allows the Commission to facilitate the rules on each service to facilitate “cooperation”-with new services. This portability is not just, or the bubble loading contains all the messages sent and loaded photos. This is the ability to leave a service, set up elsewhere, and resume your conversations and transactions. For example, under DMA, you have to leave Facebook and settle on a Mastodon server in the community and still participate in group discussions and exchanged individual messages with people who are not ready to leave (yet).
In the UK, long -term digital bill, competition and consumers ultimately give the executive authority to the digital marketplace in the competition and markets, with dozens of smart engineers and HMG payments, all in the country seeking little to transform their careful market studies into politics. If the bill is approved, they have a wide range of latitude for fashion therapies for each dominant service, including instructions for interaction gardens to install gates for new market entrances, making it easy for users to separate themselves from important social relationships.
In the United States, bills have been removed from the committee with the ability to cooperate with numerous bilateral support, and only voted for the technology sector after a severe lobby. But if the British and the European Union impose the ability to cooperate on technical companies, it doesn’t matter if the US -captured legislature cannot add itself – users around the world receive the benefits of intery and burning it at replacement costs.
These solutions start online in 2024. I believe that we will see one or more major technology operating systems that facilitate the departure of their users, “Mr. Zuckerberg, tore that wall (Garden Ed).”
