monpolies exist because of a lack of regulation

How do you know if its never presented to the consumer?

consumers are the markets

no consumers go to the markets

whats stopping you from approaching them

which markets

its not a location

geez

where do you think they gio

fucking Asda?

its an ability to reach the product in the same way as competing prodducts

hense the browser choice system

Yes so tell me a scenario where its limiting you from reaching those markets

The regulation of a free market isnt an on/off, yes /no question. It's one of degrees.

just like free speech then

Broadly speaking yes.

what about in degrees

An unsafe product would be analogous to a persons speech preventing another person from from exercising their free speech.

this assuming in a case where there's regulations and protections in place

because an unsafe product would be deemed unsafe for failing particular standards

enforced by external agencies

@system11 That's untrue you need to look how law makers and regulators work with establishment business work hand in hand.

Yes but the agency would have oversight from government, and government is elected by the people, who broadly speaking are the market.

same in the case for someones speech too

This Regulationism is Neo Liberal/Neo Con nonsense.

if it wasnt for regulation... we would all be using internet explorer right now

Better than Google tbh

Um no not really Orionstar. It's a concept that has existed for thousands of years. It has emerged in almost every politically and technologically advanced society.

depends on if they bothered to improve it since ie5

You need to look into the regulation and government subsidies that made that corporation that powerful in the first place.

Hmm interesting isn't it, for free markets to exist there needs to be a regulations in place, but whats the point when corporations can dictate to have it benefit them.

Human error and corruption affects everything orionstar, you need to look at the principle in its entirety not just focus on the worst aspects of it.

it needs protective regulation... like the constitution

the principle doesn't matter because its operated upon by people who're prone to like you say human error and corruption

we're talking about regulation to protect a free and open market

thats all thats needed

Yes the same regulations that corporations benefit from for their advantage right? Cos we do have anti trust laws

and yet they exist

how could you benefit from a regulation that keeps a free market (i/e just makes sure that consumers can always have the freedom to choose)

depends on how you define that regulation

because that will define the freedom of the market
