Another question...I need to translate the following sentence into Spanish but I am not sure about the meaning of "free-for-all" in this context:
"There is a need to prevent the free-for-all that the modern home shopping website represents"...
is it "fight"??
A free-for-all is a fight with multiple fighters and no rules, either an actual fist fight or a metaphorical fight (such as the one in your quotation).
The writer is complaining about the lack of rules, order, fairness, and civility at that website.
Thank you!
