Fair point. I wasn't sure how closely the original commenter had read the article so I figured some clarification would be helpful. With respect to "breaking up big tech" and it being harmful to US companies on a global stage, my guess is that over a long enough time period monopolistic companies tend stop being innovative since their motivations in how to derive profit shift. I believe that will end up being harmful for the societies and countries they exist in. Countries, societies, and industries which can stay competitive I think would benefit in the long run so long as they are not consumed by that global monopoly. In the short run it could be pretty harmful. Just an opinion I'm not too strongly tied to at the moment. It would be interesting to see an economic study or something.
