Most fascinating part of these notes for me:
> "US Tech companies key asset for America; Breakup strengthens Chinese companies"
Is China the new anti-regulation boogieman?
Can somebody who understands the domain better than me explain how keeping facebook from continuing to acquire tangential businesses (whatsapp, insta)/forcing them to split those already acquired back out would give power to Chinese competitors?
Or am I asking the wrong question? What forms would a likely breakup of Facebook take that this defense is reasonable?
- yuhong 9y agoPart of the problem is how the current economy and the ad bubble works, causing companies to grow and shrink quickly. Another good example here is Google and DoubleClick. I wrote an essay about that topic: http://yuhongbao.blogspot.ca/2018/04/google-doubleclick-mozilla-essay-final.html http://yuhongbao.blogspot.ca/2018/04/google-doubleclick-mozi... It is unfortunate that there seems to be less interest in Google.
