The Humanist Manifesto says that humanists “are committed…to making informed choices in a context of freedom.” We can’t do that without broad access to information.
I suspect there is little precedent in traditional antitrust law for treating business combinations in the information industry more strictly than others. That’s unfortunate. For better or worse, we live in the Information Age, and we’d all be better off with greater diversity of information options to choose from, regardless of any economic impact.
