I agree 😇 free market leads to one big monopoly which decides anything for anyone. Regulation is needed all the time, as we saw (and see) with Microsoft and now with Apple, Amazon, Google etc.

Unregulated market ≠ free market. That's what I just explained. If you'd like a better understanding I'd highly recommend auditing econ 101 online through MIT: https://youtu.be/_OkTw766oCs?si=twyynoEzf-bi5k3m

It's not a tough course, and it's probably one that everybody should take anyways, TBH.
