Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This issue concerns the potential conflict of interest that arises when conglomerates own both the means of distribution and the production of content. It can lead to preferential treatment for their own content and limit competition, which can be detrimental to consumers and other producers. It is worth discussing whether there should be regulations in place to prevent such conflicts. The other options are also important issues, but they are not as fundamental as this one.
