2:41 Marketplace operators are indeed in the habit of competing on unfair terms with the sellers that are on their platform by leveraging their market insights. But this is also true for physical marketplaces, or PMs, such as supermarket chains and marts, not only for digital ones. Measures akin to the DMA are conspicuous by their absence when it comes to PMs. Of course, any country or group of countries seeking to regulate PMs in this way would also be targeting local marketplace actors, and this would be arguably a fair stance to take.
I think much of the challenge lies in China and Russia providing unregulated services and products. An example would be free to play games with built in scams the cost consumers billions in throw away content.
