[170] Profit-motivated policy processes data as ones and zeroes, but in reality, data reflects living people; the individuals who contribute to data are not accounted for in legal frameworks which only protect data. Chicago School thinking held that as long as consumer prices were falling there was no competition problem. But when transactions are done in data rather than dollars, such ideas may be less relevant. Big technology companies offer services that seem to be free, yet consumers are paying with their own data in opaque and asymmetric transactions. Only the company itself knows how much the data is worth.Besides demonstrating the dangers of land rents and monopolies, Lizzie Magie also intended The Landlord's Game for children as a teaching tool to learn how to add and subtract through the usage of paper money, which was inherited by Monopoly and the vast majority of its spin-offs. However, some Monopoly variations use bank cards instead of paper money. [83]

Characterising Big Tech companies as monopolistic entered mainstream vocabulary when the US House Judiciary Sub-Committee on Antitrust stated that GAFAM enjoy ‘monopoly power’ and should be treated as such. However, this evaluation is not as immediately straightforward as it seems, though it is critical to the regulation question. These companies are non-traditional technological monopolies; compared to other technologies that ‘boomed’ economically, digital technology is much more difficult to regulate effectively.A player cannot choose to go bankrupt; if there is no way to pay what they owe, even by returning all their buildings at a loss, mortgaging all their real estate and giving up all their cash, even knowing they are likely going bankrupt the next time, they must do so and immediately retire from the game.

The dice are loaded in favor of the AI, as the rolls are definitely not the product of a random number generator as the truly should be. I believe I can prove this beyond the shadow of a reasonable doubt by way of recorded motion screen capture of the “tip toe” pattern that emerges after the player develops any of his properties. The AI will simply not land on those properties for a minimum of 3 times around the board. If it were truly random, a bell curve representing landing on improved properties v not landing on improved properties would emerge, not the 100% in favor of the AI as this game clearly provides.

In 1998, Winning Moves procured the Monopoly license from Hasbro and created new UK city and regional editions [56] with sponsored squares. Initially, in December 1998, the game was sold in just a few W H Smith stores, but demand was high, with almost 50,000 games sold in the four weeks before Christmas. Winning Moves still produces new city and regional editions annually. A player who cannot pay what they owe is bankrupt and eliminated from the game. If the bankrupt player owes the bank, they must turn all their assets over to the bank, who then auctions off their properties (if they have any), except buildings. If the debt is owed to another player instead, all assets are given to that opponent, except buildings, which must be returned to the bank. The new owner must either pay off any mortgages held by the bank on such properties received or pay a fee of 10% of the mortgaged value to the bank if they choose to leave the properties mortgaged.

In a developed nation, we need not look far to see the pervasive influence of digital technological companies, or ‘Big Tech’. Put into numbers, GSMA 2021 figures record 5.31 billion unique mobile phone users, including almost 90% of the populations of Europe, China and the US. Big Tech’s influence is not simply its ubiquity; it is the datafication that is made possible due to such widespread use. Since digital technology is advanced enough to capitalise on immense data sets of information about us, Big Tech finds itself in a position to influence internal policy, diplomacy and market forces, affecting billions of users in such a way that can compromise our social values. The Snowden whistleblowing and Cambridge Analytica scandal, among others, have laid bare this omnipresence. Owing to its monopoly of data, digital technology is now such a powerful weapon for controlling the masses that its use must be regulated. In the past few decades, the conventional means of rectifying this imbalance has been private law, though this has been increasingly insufficient given Big Tech’s monopolistic status. In traditional regulatory theory, market error can usually be remedied by private law or market correction, with regulation as a last resort. Regulation, when employed by governments, is a form of collective power designed to protect the public from a range of economic abuses, including but not limited to destructive competition, the exploitation of private economic power, and monopoly behaviour. However, it is rare that economic abuses take advantage of entire populations: any abuses, even by larger companies over large classes of victims, can and have been remedied by reliance on direct litigation or collective action instigated by users. In relation to digital technology, this has typically been through antitrust and competition lawsuits or public relations pressure.
