One example of market power abuse they engage in is requiring the price listed on their website to be the lowest offer that a merchant can list. You can't list a product on their page and then have a discount for that product on your own page.

if no one has ever pointed you at Seeing like a State, it's about the political and economic implications of this fact. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seeing_Like_a_State

There's also Bit's About Money describing this effect in banks https://www.bitsaboutmoney.com/archive/seeing-like-a-bank/

> Perhaps the rigor that Medtronic and similar device companies are subjected to would apply, but I'm not sure those regulations cover information security and privacy.

As someone on an insulin pump they do. Iirc they have reps showing up at hacker conferences looking for red teams.

I can't help but wonder what fraction of this is import tariffs on Taiwan. Also the initial drop, can't help but wonder if someone leaked that info to some private traders.

> Although to be honest all this aggressive scraping is noticeable but for people who understand that which is not majority of people.

When you say noticeable, do you mean in like, traffic statistics? Or in what the model knows that it clearly shouldn't if it wasn't trained in legally dubious ways?

I'm hoping a result of this shitshow is a curtailing the power of the executive. We've been slow-walking our way towards this by congress abrogating their responsibility under both parties. Probably requires actual restructuring of congressional elections and seniority systems though, which is... well going to be hard.
