Text 3 The power and ambition of the giants of thedigitaleconomy is astonishing -Amazonhas just announced the purchase of the upmarket grocery chain Whole Foods for $13.5bn, but two years agoFacebookpaid even more than that to acquire theWhatsAppmessaging service, which doesn’t have any physical product at all. What WhatsApp offered Facebook was an intricate and finely detailedwebof its users’ friendships and social lives. Facebook promised the European commission then that it would not link phone numbers to Facebook identities, but it broke the promise almost as soon as the deal went through. Even without knowing what was in the messages, the knowledge of who sent them and to whom was enormously revealing and still could be. What political journalist, what party whip, would not want to know the makeup of the WhatsApp groups in which Theresa May’s enemies are currently plotting? It may be that the value of Whole Foods toAmazonis not so much the 460 shops ft owns, but the records of which customers have purchased what. Competition law appears to be the only way to address these imbalances of power. But it is clumsy. For one thing, it is very slow compared to the pace of change within the digital economy. By the time a problem has been addressed and remedied it may have vanished in the marketplace, to be replaced by new abuses of power. But there is a deeper conceptual problem, too. Competition law as presently interpreted deals with financial disadvantage to consumers and this is not obvious when the users of these services don’t pay for them. The users of their services are not their customers. That would be the people who buy advertising from them - and Facebook andGoogle,the two virtual giants, dominate digital advertising to the disadvantage of all other media and entertainment companies. The product they’re selling is data, and we, the users, convert our lives to data for the benefit of thedigital giants.Just as some ants farm the bugs called aphids for the honeydew they produce whe 31.According to Paragraph1，Facebook acquired WhatsApp for its 。 A.digialproducts B.userinformation C.physical assets D.quality service 32.Linking phone numbers to Faccbook identities may A.worsen political disputes B.mess up customer records C.pose a risk to Facebook users D.mislead the European commission 33.According to the author，competition law A.should serve the new market powers B.may worsen the economic imbalancens C.should not provide just one legal solution D.cannot keep pace with the changing market 34.Competition law as presently interpreted can hardly protect Facebook nsers Because A.they are no defined as customers B.they are not financially reliable C.these rvices aregenerallydigital D.the services are paid for by advertisers 35.The ants analogy is used to llustrate A.a win-win business model between digital giants B.a typical competition pattem among digital giants C.the benefits provided for digital giants' customers D.the relationship between digital giants and their users
