'By combining financial services with their existing business, Big Tech firms can bring benefits to consumers. These might be innovative new offers with highly competitive pricing driven by increased efficiency, delivering healthy competition with incumbent financial services providers'
With APPLE ??????? They don't compete on price, they stiff people on price regularly.

Don't worry, drones. Apple will soon abolish that pesky antitrust law. Soon, Big Corp will decide everything for you and your will love it. Understand?

Big Tech had been using their power to influence and control markets for a decade and only now the people who are supposed to regulate them are suddenly concerned. They didn't care when Apple and Google banned Parler for apparently allowing violence yet most violent content is posted on Facebook and Twitter

UltraHD, 25 Oct 2022Can someone explain this to me in a normal way of writing l... moreWhat's happening is Apple (Apple Card) and Google (Google Wallet) want to have their own debit cards, their own banks, for users to use and circumvent long-time financial institutions like Bank of America, Citizens Bank, Santander, Citi, etc. Yes, it's really foremost about banks being afraid of the advantage tech companies have with people, especially Google. However, anti-trust laws are also about protecting the common people from being pigeon-holed into centralized services without alternatives. For the sake of maintaining competition in the market, Apple, Google, and Meta are being scrutinized. If you are banned by Google for saying something that goes against Google's political philosophy, it would gate you out of many important services you need to survive in this era of technology. Some US state government services, like renewing your driver's license, cannot be done without reservations on Department of Motor Vehicles websites. Cheap Internet access via government provided devices are primarily Android devices, which are controlled by Google as Google requires all of these device manufacturers to include Google Play suite. It's an extremely dangerous precedent. Google would effectively have control over the US population and circumvent law.
