How do you stop them working in coercion when they are split? We've already seen FAANG band together when they want to be rid of something. I imagine they'll do similar if they're broken up.
- pkilgore 5y agoThe same Antitrust laws that you use to split them contain penalties for coercion after they are split, and have since they were written. Also, just spitballing here, but in a world where Left and Right agree that bigness is bad, we can write new laws prohibiting should the existing ones prove insufficient in practice. Crazy!
- CountDrewku 5y agoExcept those laws have to be enforced by a government that benefits from these massive corporations and/or is just apathetic about breaking them up. Seems like they would rather wield them as a cudgel to do their political bidding.
