What platform is big enough to break up the big platforms?
- swebs 7y agoThe United States Federal Trade Commission.
- jpttsn 7y agoMhm. And shouldn’t they, then, be broken up as well? Which monopoly breaks up the monopoly upbreakers?
- swebs 7y agoBroken up into what? It's a government agency that already has a narrow scope of operation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Trade_Commission https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Trade_Commission
