Most of these don't make much sense:

Predatory hiring - banning this would be preventing competition in the labor market and be extremely bad for workers. Also unproveable.

Regulatory capture - the government regulators are not going to sue themselves

Killer acquisitions - already illegal to engage in acquisition to form monopoly

Data hoarding - the government can't force you to share things for free. That violates the takings clause

Self-preferencing - this is such a long standing and legally permitted practice that it is not plausible to make illegal. e.g. every grocery store has a store brand that they favor.

Vaporware - if this is a provable lie it is already covered by fraud statutes, and it would be such a stupid move by the company that I don't believe it actually happens



> Also unproveable.

No? I'm always surprised by what corporate chats and emails reveal.
