As someone who is also pro competition, I don't mind if a peaceful actor like Google is able to compete in some sense with an oppressive warring state like Turkey.

Yeah, I'm being provocative. But think about it.



a peaceful actor like Google is able to compete in some sense with an oppressive warring state like Turkey.

What if it were more profitable for Google to side with the oppressive regime?

A trick question because we all already know what the answer is.


You're saying if Google is powerful, it might do something bad.

That's of course true, but it's also true of Turkey.

To me, having many actors with limited power is better than having a few with lot of power.
