Of course it is legal.. Nobody can tell a company who they HAVE to sell their product to.. But you want to break it up and what then exactly.. ?
> Both Android and Chrome need to be spun out--at this point they are basically public utilities
No, they're not.. And they're not a fundamental right either.
- techntoke 7y agoChromium is already open source.
- bilekas 7y agoTechnically so is Android but thats a whole other can of worms..
- jessaustin 7y agoNobody can tell a company who they HAVE to sell their product to. Lots of court cases have forced merchants to sell to minorities to whom they would rather have not sold.
- bilekas 7y agoCould you share on some references to products and not services forced to be sold ? Also policy based and not discriminatory based..
- gtfratteus 7y agoCompletely irrelevant unless you know of a case where an American court forced a company to sell to Turkey.
- anoncake 7y ago> Nobody can tell a company who they HAVE to sell their product to.. Of course the state can do that.
- mrkstu 7y agoTurkey can if Google wants to do business in Turkey- if it isn't a legal business entity in Turkey, then no, not really.
