For example, Microsoft was accused of violating welfare statist antitrust laws at the end of the 1990s (more about antitrust later). This was not an isolated incident; the antitrust cloud hangs permanently over this and every other industry in a welfare-statist society. Get too big and you get in trouble as manifested by bipartisan threats to regulate the internet and break up some of the big technology companies. And often your competition, quietly or vocally, cheers on the government to take you to court.
To take another example, cities in the U.S and around the world put up statist regulatory barriers to prevent Uber and Lyft from competing with local public transportation and taxi monopolies. Cities often also restrict Airbnb from making inroads in the hospitality industry. And taxing authorities large and small cash in on online sales, cheered on by brick-and-mortar retailers who fear the competition.
