Cell phone software and hardware. They lick out people from making good devices and they lock out other operating systems. Cell phones in general engage in tons of monopoly like behavior, like proprietary platforms who’s only function is consumer lock in, and locking out people who they don’t like.
Car companies, notoriously lobby against free trade with other countries so they can sell terrible cars for higher prices.
ISPs often libby to make collectively owned or municipal internet illegal despite being far cheaper and far better and net neutrality in many cases as well as more privacy focused.
Consoles, they try to prevent people from installing Linux and mods and stuff so they can get people to keep buying mediocre games, called triple AAA games. These games don’t appeal to most PC users because there are actually many good games on the PC and mods, but on console you usually only have a handful of games that are fun to play in modded. Lots of action liteRPGs and multiplayer shooters and simpleton games on consoles. Easy to make, easy to play.
Political parties. Instead of actually improving they compete for corporate money and are backed by hypercapaitlist, corporatist media, and are almost 100% hostile to the voters at this point. Almost everything they pass is going to make our life worse and they only really act to protect corporations and expand the laws to boost corporate profits and screw over the workers.
Oh I have a few.
