- panny 2y agoAs a meta note: It is really interesting watching last minute attempts to do things in a 4 year administration which thought it would have 8 years. Like splitting Chrome from Google... the next administration will probably just gut any attempts to punish these monopolists.
- immibis 2y agoIt's not certain the next administration will stop the attempts - remember that tech companies are "woke". Musk's companies certainly won't be probed, but Microsoft and Google will probably be offered deals that involve certain restrictions on speech for dropping the probes.
