But that's beside the point. I don't think that monopolies are compatible with an open web, and those of us who believe in the open web should carefully consider whether our work encourages or discourages anti-competitive practices.

I also think it's catastrophically bad to think that only computer manufacturers, mobile phone makers, domain registrars, hosting providers, and terrestrial and mobile ISPs should be allowed to get paid for providing Internet services. Many people who spend hundreds or thousands of dollars a year to get access to the Web are reluctant to chip in $20 for their Mastodon server.

I'm honestly surprised to see so many "No" answers to this question. From the anti-commercial replies, I think at least some of the No's come from a concentration on the word "markets" rather on the word "competitive". I think the economic definition of a "market" encompasses non-commercial services and products. But maybe I should have found some wording that doesn't make people hit the "I HATE COMPANIES" button so hard.

Foglie morte di Nazim Hikmet (Salonicco, 1902 โ Mosca, 1963)
Veder cadere le foglie mi lacera dentro
soprattutto le foglie dei viali
soprattutto se sono ippocastani
soprattutto se passano dei bimbi
soprattutto se il cielo รจ sereno ... https://cctm.website/nazim-hikmet-foglie-morte/

I think "the open web" is by definition a multi-polar environment where many service providers, software creators, and platforms interact using interoperable standards. I think the "open" in "open web" requires multiple actors; a single company cannot be "open" with itself.

If Mozilla is really purpose-driven, I think the number one goal of the organization should be getting out of the monopoly headlock it's in right now. It should find another buyer for its search engine placement service, and it should diversify its revenue to get the business on a firm footing that doesn't keep governments from enforcing competitive markets.

I personally think that participating in an anti-competitive business practice that a court has found hurts American (and assumably also global) consumers and other businesses is not compatible with that purpose. I don't think that humans flourish in systems dominated by monopolies that use their power to extend those monopolies. Neither have most economists since about 1875.
