This is no surprise. It's what we get with a free market and capitalism driving it: Monopolization. And then we can only access what those mono/oligopolies deem profit increasing or at least not hurting.

How would a regulation be like, that in this case, without significant detriment to investment, makes things better? Because I cannot imagine one (not saying there is not, just that myself cannot find it)

I’m in a context of an super-regulated EU market, where such things still somewhat happen (well even worst, with people having their homes and theirs relatives searched, because he called dumb a politician), bad with the added problems, namely: there can just not exist such a giant in the EU.

I also can't think of a regulation that is without significant detriment to investment and makes things better here. But that is my point: "without significant detriment to investment" is what is most important in capitalism... Despite society crumbling

I think state police forces acting beyond their power is an unrelated problem.

Such giants shouldn't exist and be for profit in my view. The issue is that the EU does not block the non-EU giants so Europeans also suffer from the less strict regulation.
