I would rather Google, Facebook and Twitter get broken up.
Maybe, Amazon, too.

Yep, but their too important of a cog in the Democrat disinformation scheme. Nothing will ever happen to them.

There was a good argument for breaking them up 20 years ago, but not now

Microsoft really hasn't been that bad after Bill Gates was no longer CEO.

Because Bill Gates FAILED in his attempt to develop an operating system on his own, then conned some guy out of an Operating System fair and square, then stole the Windows/Mouse concept from Apple (who had stolen it from IBM), and then took credit for it all as if he was some sort of computer genius -- THAT'S WHY!

They all steal ideas from each other, big tech is the downfall of this country.

Microsoft was developing the OS for IBM so they didn't steal it from themselves
You mean Xerox, and Xerox opened up the Palo Alto Research Center stuff to Apple in exchange for stock options

Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Facesuck should be broken up but it also might require additional legislation to do.

Steve Jobs was at the Xerox Research Center in the early 70s where they were trying to develop the first personal computer.
