- techntoke 7y agoLet's do Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, Comcast and many others too. Unless you're just on the Google hater bandwagon.
- bilekas 7y agoWhy ? Maybe some proper regulation written by people who know what they're talking about would be a better start no ? The nuclear option of : 'Oh break them up, they're out of control' is such a fallacy. Maybe if lawmakers were clued in on what large companies like Facebook, Google actually did, they might just set better rules.
- banads 7y agoFair point, but, I think we all can agree "proper regulation written by people who know what they're talking about" is extremely unlikely to happen.
- anticensor 7y agoGoogle cannot be broken up. It needs to be torn down on short (~14 days) notice.
