publish date: 2026/10/04 04:06:8.788401 UTC

Why do governments restrict the freedom of privately owned companies in a competitive market?

To ensure companies do not lower product safety and security standards to reduce costs.

To prevent companies from competing on delivery time and cost.

To reduce the documentation cost required for software development.
