https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/us/politics/big-tech-democratic-candidates.html "Both parties have become increasingly concerned about Silicon Valley’s immense influence over government and the economy, and Elizabeth Warren jump-started a debate among Democrats by proposing to break up Facebook, Google and Amazon. Some Democrats agreed with her, while others — including Kamala Harris and Seth Moulton — urged different kinds of regulation."

Google CFO confirms "large-scale" layoffs today (Apr 17)
Yes. Leave Microsoft alone though.
Only if you want to see Chinese companies that are equally as large but government funded jump in and steal number 1. Only if you want to see people’s 401ks and major indices get rocked (because the indices are so big tech heavy nowadays). If you want to fuck the US’ competitive advantage then sure.
Break up the world 🌎! We need these monoliths to pay more taxes ! They should be charged merger tax. Or Size tax.
Worst idea I’ve ever seen. If the clown d’s stopped to think who is funding their dumb ideas then they wouldnt assassinate the golden geese.
This^.......Elizabeth Warren’s tech ideas are absolutely moronic
I’m a Democrat and agree with this.
Yes, break all big companies. When they are too big and powerful then they start conflicting with average citizen interest. Like monopoly, lobby, etc. In Europe we block acquisitions and break companies if needed. Just look at costs of healthcare, education, military spending or gun laws. All caused by lobbyists. People live way better in other countries with way lower GDP per capita and without these big companies.
There are thousands of gun companies and millions of gun owners. Your reasoning there is flawed. Please go back to Europe unless you are already there. If in Europe, please quit Google since you are dragging down their IQ... Please give your job to a deserving Asian or Indian immigrant.
I'm sorry if I made you feel bad about your country. I'm here and not planning to move. And do not take this personally. Just check this table https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rate and sort the list by total or homicide. USA is on top of the list way ahead of any developed country. Just compare it to Canada or Australia which are similar countries built by imigrants. It is just said so few people understand this. If we more did then we could vote differently. But we don't know this because there is already a lobby selling us story that guns makes you safer cause you can protect yourself. But what if you didn't have a gun and the other person also. Wouldn't it be safer for both?
Yes. We should be.
They should start with their own big parties. Two parties? Other countries have tens!
No these companies aren’t the ones needing breaking up. Comcast and Time Warner do.
Them too.
Break them all up !!
whichever option gets higher pay
Increased competition would drive pay up. In the past Bay Area giants colluded to keep tech industry wages lower with mutual no poaching agreements.
Good thinking
