Another "small government" conservative mouthpiece arguing for breaking up tech companies that disagree with their political opinions. I think the other reasons they give are merely nominal, and not what they care about the most. Project Dragonfly was shelved due to public and internal outcry. Good! More of that outcry should occur more often. This is exactly what we need to do. Then it goes on to question Google's refusal to work with the Pentagon. Odd. Pretty poor reason to advocate for breaking a company up. What about legitimate fears of what this technology could be used for? Google collects a lot of data, so you know what? I don't use Google search, I use DuckDuckGo instead, a secondary option which doesn't track me. You can get by with any Google product that isn't YouTube pretty easily in most cases (Google Classroom exceptions not included). IoT argument is null, it's not like it would be any better if there were more smaller IoT companies, just means they'd have worse security. Just don't buy particular IoT products if you don't like their privacy policy, and advocate for more privacy protections in them. Just write anything against big tech companies on Hacker News, your arguments can be anything, it doesn't matter, people will support you. I don't want to see moral outrage about a company working with China while publishing stuff like this [0] and advocating breaking up Google because they don't want to support a war like this.
