Politicians would never break up Standard Oil or Bell Telephone either.
- qwytw 3y agoWhy? It's pretty straightforward to show how Standard Oil or Bell Telephone were harmful to consumer interests. With Google.. well they are giving away half+ of their products for free which they wouldn't able to if broken up. Antitrust laws from the 1900s were just not designed with that in mind, they were trying to solve quite different issues.
