Attempting to regulate an industry when they control the communication pathways

I'm looking for pieces that explore the problem of attempting to regulate an industry (say AI) when the incumbents (say Google and Microsoft) control email and search.

Luckily you don't have to look far! Check what happened in 2010s when European news publishers were trying to control how Google processed their articles: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2011/07/google-versus-be...

It's fascinating to see the comments in that piece; makes you wonder how people will look at our commentary around AI a decade from now.
