2018考研英语⼆真题及答案(⽂字版)【 2】
Text 3
The power and ambition of the giants of the digital economy is astonishing —Amazon has just announced the purchase
of the upmarket grocery chain Whole Foods for $13.5bn, but two years ago Facebook paid even more than that to acquire the
WhatsApp messaging service, which doesn’t have any physical product at all. What WhatsApp offered Facebook was an
intricate and finely detailed web of its users’ friendships and social lives.
Facebook promised the European commission then that it would not link phone numbers to Facebook identities, but it
broke the promise almost as soon as the deal went through. Even without knowing what was in the messages, the
knowledge of who sent them and to whom was enormously revealing and still could be. What political journalist, what party
whip, would not want to know the makeup of the WhatsApp groups in which Theresa May’s enemies are currently plotting? It
may be that the value of Whole Foods to Amazon is not so much the 460 shops ft owns, but the records of which customers
have purchased what.
Competition law appears to be the only way to address these imbalances of power. But it is clumsy. For one thing, it is
very slow compared to the pace of change within the digital economy. By the time a problem has been addressed and
remedied it may have vanished in the marketplace, to be replaced by new abuses of power. But there is a deeper conceptual
problem, too. Competition law as presently interpreted deals with financial disadvantage to consumers and this is not
obvious when the users of these services don’t pay for them. The users of their services are not their customers. That would
be the people who buy advertising from them — and Facebook and Google, the two virtual giants, dominate digital
advertising to the disadvantage of all other media and entertainment companies.
The product they’re selling is data, and we, the users, convert
