    Well funnily enough I think that part, legally, is totally fine. There’s nothing anti competitive about being in two unrelated industries, and I don’t think there’s a good case that aws is a monopoly. There are viable and cheaper alternatives like hetzner, aws is just popular but it’s not manipulating the market

      I agree, AWS is definitely the largest, but Google and MS are both competing very well in the space for 2nd and 3rd place. On the other hand, no online store front even remotely compares to amazon.com’s presence, so it’s understandable the FTC would have eyes there.
