More than just a collection of weird and incorrect statements about tech companies, this is an example of the kind of "central planner" mindset that Warren has which is extremely threatening to the world economy. In particular, Warren complaining about the monopoly threat posed by Google+ is hilarious. Her overconfidence in assuming she knows enough this industry to divine regulations for breaking up large companies is frightening.
As other commenters have pointed out, the better role for government is in eliminating the monopoly rights they have already granted to ISPs. If she actually understood and cared about monopolies, she'd be attacking all of those deals signed by clueless and/or corrupt local politicians. Instead, she just wants to rail against the faceless enemy of "big business", in order to drum up. She's a Trump of a different suit, just another populist looking to derive power by exploiting simplistic ideas that don't work in the real world.
