It’s really strange to me that regulators let it happen. The UK just ruled that Facebook must divest from Giphy of all things but somehow a single company can own the majority of the online match making market.
I don’t what percentage of coupling and relationships are dependent today on Match.com et al but I bet it’s substantial at least in the major western markets.
The sheer amount of potential social engineering one achieve by cornering the market is pretty frightening.
It’s the same issue I have with the likes of Facebook and Google they really can control the lives of people far beyond what most can even imagine.
For most of us life isn’t some great plan, it’s all a series of small inconsequential events that roll into big life changing ones.
Some of your biggest moments in life can be “traced back” to a single inconsequential random moment and companies like Google and Facebook control a lot of these moments today.
