Can’t help but notice that when Twitter banned cross-linking certain social media sites it didn’t include Gab, Gettr, or Parler.
@Popehat I do wonder if there are international jurisdictions where such anti-competitive actions are illegal.
@michaelgemar @Popehat I would be willing to make the case that this infringes (or, at a minimum is problematic under) § 20(3a) of the German Act against Restraints of Competition: 1/2
@michaelgemar @Popehat 2/2. § 20(3a) ARC provides: “(3a) An unfair impediment within the meaning of subsection (3) sentence 1 shall also be deemed to exist where an undertaking with superior market power on a market within the meaning of Section 18(3a) impedes the independent attainment of network effects by competitors and in this way creates a serious risk of significantly restricting competition on the merits.”
