>If there isn't competition, then it's not market manipulation, it's just that they're the only market. The USA, Europe, and some European countries are already filling antitrust cases against Google and others like it. It's unfair competition. And if you can't see it, then I'm sure that there's nothing I can say to dissuade you.

This isn't just like an internal company email, and I am not saying this is their personal email. Like you're trying to imply.

These companies are trying to create habits and gain trust from naive kids. Making them their future clients. This creates a neverending circle, and the ones inside of it are so blinded, that'll always turn an eye to alternatives. In a space like this, its near impossible for other companies yo gain an edge, even if their product is better. It forms a rather powerful emotional allegiance to them, and their products.

Our kids should never be their clients, simply by the fact that their moral compass doesn't adhere to the simplest of market rules, and common sense. They undermine capitalism, they undermine freedom. And if you can't see this, you're blind.
