The comparison to the CCP does seem like an unnecessary stretch. Yelp’s new feature is bad enough on its own. The comparison to the CCP gilds the lily.
Very different from talking about restaurants or stores where you have geographic control, which is a far more odious form of monopoly (competition is restricted because the customers cannot reach competitors). Very different from talking about how Yelp owns the underlying infrastructure (roads, the web, etc.) that makes their business possible.

the free market is perfect except when they get called on being trashy racists. Then it’s a big problem!
