Ninja, the biggest (English-language) video game streamer in the world, just posted yesterday that he's deleting TikTok for these concerns. I'm not going to get into whether or not this actually makes sense, but he is a massive ce

Can you buy Amazon products anywhere except Amazon? I feel like this would be more legitimately "anti-competitive" if these products were available in all sorts of places (like most of Amazon's merchandise). But the only plac
