Doesn't Biden plan to go big on anti trust laws? Some stuff I read sounded rather bleak for the likes of FAANG.

- ceejayoz 5y agoPoliticians' plans and politicians' accomplishments tend to be vastly different things.
- dan_quixote 5y agoWe're starting to get some political alignment on anti-trust against Amazon at least. Though one party seems motivated by worker/consumer right, the other by retaliation for Bezos' ownership of WaPo.
- ceejayoz 5y agoI fully expect Amazon's lobbying arms to be able to exploit that sort of ideological split.
- fallingknife 5y agoIt would be very easy for Bezos to divest WaPo or tilt its coverage more conservative to buy off an anti-trust issue.

- paxys 5y agoConsidering Bezos is hardly involved with Amazon anymore it’ll be hard to tie WaPo into its antitrust case.
- dave5104 5y agoDo they need to tie WaPo into whatever antitrust may hit Amazon? As long as it's hurting Jeff Bezos, I'm sure some will be happy about it.
- Pokepokalypse 5y agolol. So; how did antitrust work out for Bell? Not too terribly bad, in the long run. (Though there were huge benefits for us consumers. . . )
- majormajor 5y agoThe various Standard Oil split results had some nice successes, too. Honestly I'm not sure of the main corporate opposition to anti-trust other than ego and/or laziness. It'll force the resulting business to get even better. If you got your position by being the best, you can still be the best in the new world.
