Google, Microsoft, Facesuck and Amazon should be broken up. (Do it)

Google has a "search" monopoly and nothing has happened to address it... nothing under DEM Barry O'bama. So, far only talk under Don Trump with only 6 months to go in his term. If Biden wins, nothing happens.

They need to remove the "platform" protection for Facebook and Twitter, and the like. If they want to "police" their sites ... fine... but ONLY if the protection is removed.

I don't know about Breaking up Microsoft, Amazon or Apple.

And even they removed their comments section per googles request, although they did say it would be back. It’s a scary time.

Apple is not a big deal. Microsoft and Amazon are, they are putting out of business by using anti-trust behavior.... go ask Slack and Zoom. Amazon makes money on AWS and makes huge losses on retail, putting all the other brick and mortars out of business... not because they have a better business, but because they can finance it with AWS money.

I had no idea Google was responsible for the death of the "comments section". Why??

You could use Bing. There are plenty of options for search engines.

Good points on Amazon ... along with what Musk said.

Everyone thought it would be Big Government. That was wrong. Classic case of being prepared to fight 'the previous war'.

You really should watch the video. Worth the time to see what transpired and who was involved.

I use DuckDuckGo and Startpage. But, unfortunately, that didn't change the Monopoly Google has on Search.

This is a CLEAR Antitrust Violation and can be pursued accordingly .... lots of precedents to support this ...

I asked you in another thread and you never answered. I will ask you again:

Do you think they should retain their platform status? If so how do you defend the censorship and their written admission that they had acted as a publisher?

ETA: corrected spelling to preempt your spelling Nazi diatribe.
