Does a business have right to produce whatever it wishes even if it affects the environment ?

Does a business have right to pay literal pennies per hour if it manages to find people willing to work at that pay ?

Does a business have right to lace food products with addictive substances for repeat customers and profit ?

All these cases are already happening today at some level depending on who you ask. But they don’t tilt to extremes because we have laws in place to maintain balance between business needs and collective good.

This move by Google will tilt that balance forever towards absolute duopoly in mobile computing space. It is time for legislation to avoid that.
