You've chosen a poor example to illustrate your case. The Dutch East India Company was a state granted monopoly. Obviously in this case, the regulations (state charter) empowered t…

I always found it strange that I needed to: 1) Provide a phone number 2) Install a mobile app 3) Activate Google Play Services ...All to create an account for this "private" messag…
