Ask HN: Is it possible the US isn't breaking up GOOG and FB due to secret deals?
This topic is everywhere and it's hard not to wonder about as I type this from inside Chrome with a deactivated Facebook account that is still probably somehow collecting data.
- bouncing 8y agoIt's far more likely that the US isn't breaking up Google or Facebook because they aren't monopolies in the traditional sense, and even if they were, US anti-trust law has been neutered by decades of classical liberalism.
- rblion 8y agoOk, thanks for clarifying. I wonder how all this is going to unfold in the next 3-5 years. Rereading 'Zero To One' makes me feel that Mark Zuckerberg is not going to make this an easy fight for anyone trying to limit Facebook.
