Where to start ?
How about the business survival manual of these apex predators.
First sign of serious competition. Buy, destroy or neuter.

Pursuit of world domination continues by our FAGMATs. No doubt it will be great news for consumers and employees!
Our business plan is simple, your choice CEO: Assimiliation, Neutralization or Isolation

As if by magic , not, all your Firefox browser settings have been changed to point at Microsoft products - default browser , firefox search engine , firefox home page. They still thrive and survive with their monopolistic business practices and the pile of kack Windows operating system many years on from when Sun Microsystems was awarded 4B dollars in an antitrust case about them trying to kill off Java by 'making sure' it didn't run and couldn't be used in Windows.

Changed by what? I doubt Mozilla will have done that.

I see Facebook in their normal friendly law abiding way are threatening to stop access to Facebook and Instagram in the EU unless the EU agrees to it moving peoples data to US servers.
So in other words we don't like your privacy laws either allow us to circumvent it or we will take our ball home.

Definitely not Mozilla, they are the antithesis of companies like Microsoft as were Sun Microsystems. Microsoft has a whole army of paid minions who do their dirty work. This is not an isolated incident, even Microsoft updates are brazen enough to perform similar activities, constantly trying to covertly trick you into using their products instead of competitors. Even the updates process is now presented to users as 'you can't turn it off' because they are only concerned with their users' wellbeing! The reality is it gives them more opportunity to change things in their favour and the fact Windows has always had so many security flaws that they really need a daily update.

1. Is it Amazon selling them? Or is it a third party seller using Amazon as a route to market? 2. They aren't illegal to sell. They aren't even illegal to use. Some ways of using them may be illegal...
