    Network effects. The law lets me not install Facebook Messenger just to chat with my mom and Whatsapp just to chat with my some random corporate account, and instead use whatever messenger I want to chat with both of them. I wouldn’t have a choice otherwise.

    It’s a great law, IMHO. It keeps monopolistic companies from gatekeeping services essential to modern life.
