I’ll believe it when I see it.
Everything in these kind of cases tends to be a negotiation. So if the starting point by the DOJ is “break them up”, then I imagine they are willing to settle for something much less undesirable to Alphabet.
Do Apple then Facebook. These companies have bought or stolen from so many companies. They should all be broken up they are all to big.
And, drumroll please, Apple and Facebook/Meta (and Google) share information back and forth about users due to long-standing agreements. Huzzah!
Do Microsoft next
They did Microsoft in the 90s and nothing really changed
Hey now, Windows 11 is becoming the biggest piece of garbage operating system to ever exist. It obviously worked! /s
Microsoft has acquired over 250 companies since that time. I don’t think trying in the 90s means they are good forever.
Not really. Microsoft got a slap on the wrist and was told to not create a new monopoly.
Putting Ballmer in charge was enough to do that.
Best we can hope for is they’re going to suck it so hard it tears off at the seam
Billion dollars says they don’t
