Pocahontas rolls out 2020 proposal to break up America’s biggest tech monopolies like Facebook

[Pilot1]

Interesting. I wonder what the rationale is with whomever is pulling her strings. Since Tech is Far Left Progressive, I doubt this will go anywhere. A smokescreen perhaps.

Tech has become like a Utility. Definitely a monopoly, and they are abusing their power, especially politically with censorship, and propaganda. The consumer LOSES.

Elizabeth Warren proposes Big Tech breakup

She has a point.

No she does not. These companies provide a totally optional entertainment service.

Google is hardly just optional entertainment.

There is nothing google provides that is essential to day to day living. Everything they supply is available by other sources.

Google has a near monopoly on search. They have all ecommerce by the balls. Not good.

Capitalism is dependent on good markets. Our economy is lacking them.

These companies are very successful at what they do, the government did not make them so and they should quit punishing success

Government sure has. And they seem to have figured out how to play the fed game.

The federal government deserves none of that money

 

[Brain357]

New ecommerce companies are forced to spend advertising dollars with google or Facebook, or they have to sell on amazon. Not a healthy market.

Their Fed tax burden was the result of the same law everyone else is under as well. No special treatment from the Feds

Yes they have the accountants to play the fed game. But they certainly get special state and local deals.
