Facebook -- not clear to me that they are a monopoly because I'm not sure how to define the relevant market, but it is an enormously harmful company that I have no interest in defending
Apple -- not sure whether they are a monopolist or a duopolist (with Android), but not sure it should matter
Amazon -- not sure they are a monopolist, and tend to think that the things they do are generally consistent with consumer welfare
Netflix -- not a monopolist by any stretch of the imagination, shouldn't be grouped with the others here IMO
Google -- clearly has been a monopolist for a long time, with harms for everyone else
As to which of these am I an apologist for a monopoly?
