So now we should break up any company that has a 30% share of a share of the market? The definition of a “monopoly” is not 30% even if you define the “market” as online retail not retail in general.

Wow so now the law is “semantics”. “Words Mean Things”. The minute we allow people’s feelings to control how the law is enforced we are all in trouble.

A trust is when multiple companies are in collusion. Are you claiming that Amazon is in conclusion with its competitors?

Oh! This was a law being discussed? I thought it read pedantic wordsmithing.

To call 'online sales' a single market is silly. Because other companies use the internet changes nothing. Amazon owns their segment.

FWIW, I never argued for breaking anything up. I don't think anti-monopoly laws really accomplish much. I think this kind of thing is instrinsic to capitalism; and some bigger shark will eventually come around to eat this one.

But I still disagree with the notion that somehow because Amazon is "tech" this is different.

No, my solution is far more radical and is more along the lines of the socialization line above. And almost nobody here will agree with it :-)
