Google, Facebook, and Amazon are becoming monopolies of information. There are no anti-trust laws to prevent Internet companies like these from becoming monopolies, mostly because they are inherently international. We may see more international laws enter the public vein as the Internet gains an ever-increasing audience. On top of anti-trust laws, we may also see international labor laws enter the discussion, once countries like China become unionized. Companies like Amazon won't know where to go for the cheapest labor. They'll be forced to manufacture things locally, eliminating the acceleration of pollution caused by trade. This whole process should be expedited immediately.
