LEARNING OUTCOME 3.5 Research the ownership of major websites and their impact on access and choice.
CHAPTER OVERVIEW
Many of the most popular websites in the world are owned by few people. When competitors to the biggest brands release their website, major websites such as Google, Facebook and Amazon buy them out of business. The corporations either shut down the website or integrate the software into their websites in order to create more profit. This can impact on innovation, access and choice for computer scientists who create these sites and consumers.
