I am loving this. Facebook, Google and Amazon Being Threatened Break Up
Sen. Elizabeth Warren pushes to break up big tech companies like Amazon and Facebook


Twittier, Facebook, Google and other Big Tech companies have attacked conservatives by banning them and other ways, well now guess who wants to break them up. I love it.

Quote:Sen. Elizabeth Warren unveiled a plan Friday to break up massive technology companies such as Amazon and Facebook, the clearest proposal yet in the 2020 presidential race to limit the growth of Silicon Valley.

In a blog post, the Democratic presidential hopeful from Massachusetts wrote that she wants to make "big, structural changes to the tech sector to promote more competition." Those overhauls would include "breaking up" Amazon, Facebook and Google — companies that have come under scrutiny for user data security and consolidation of services such as e-commerce and digital advertising.

"Today's big tech companies have too much power — too much power over our economy, our society, and our democracy," Warren wrote. "They've bulldozed competition, used our private information for profit, and tilted the playing field against everyone else. And in the process, they have hurt small businesses and stifled innovation."

Though Warren's post did not mention Apple, her campaign said the plan would affect the tech behemoth. The company could have to choose between running its App Store or building its own apps, Warren spokeswoman Saloni Sharma said.

I don't know about trying to break them up, but you have to address their willingness to collude to stifle competition (actually, not stifle, but totally prevent). They also need to pass strict legislation on the mining and selling of user data that carries ridiculously high fines and minimum, mandatory jail time for executives and Board members. I've seen in the banking sector that if you only fine companies it changes crime into a business decision. If we get caught we'll have to pay X, but by doing it we are making Y. If Y is more than X, they do it. If there were mandatory jail sentences for the decision makers, they wouldn't do it.

She does. Didn't ever imagine I would say that about something she said.

Especially the data mining. There have been too many admissions that "turning off" certain features doesn't limit the data being collected.

I didn't say I disagreed with her, I was just saying I love it is the left wanting to break them up. The liberals at Big Tech have worked hard to legally and illegally support liberal politicians.

I could see Amazon or Google, but how do you break up Facebook? They have one product.

They own instagram and whatsapp, but I agree, I don't see them as much of a threat and actually think they will collapse within a decade.

Google and amazon are nightmares, and twitter allows foreign actors to meddle in our elections while shunning American citizens from their own digital public square.

You have politicians arbitrarily set rules on how the break-ups should be. Doesn't matter it the process makes sense or not.

That probably gives Facebook over 50% of the social media platforms out there. Not sure who owns Snapchat, but aside from them I cannot think of any other social media companies. So in the case of Facebook, they would be forced to spin off the other 2 if you were going after monopolistic behavior.

Snap owns Snap.

There are others social media platforms attempting to compete (Minds, Gab, Bitchute), but silicon valley teams up with left-wing media to label them as "nazi" sites, and knee-cap them of their payment processing firms, domain registrars, etc.

Other than the 2 I listed, I've never heard of any of that crap.

Google and amazon are the threats. The social media giants just need to stop banning everyone and respect the laws of the country that allowed them to become what they are, and Congress needs to enforce the laws that allow Minds, Gab, and Bitchute to compete.

No, just stop colluding to prevent others from being able to compete.

Thats because most of them got integrated into the front facing offerings of Facebook, Instagram, etc.

A lot of them are back end stuff that helps FB, IG, and the like to operate, datamine, profile, and figure out how to milk more money out of the system.

But there are also a lot that are only used by smaller specific social clusters, that simply haven't been picked up by the average Joe but are largely popular within certain circles.
IG, WhatsApp didn't used to be an everyday thing for most people for a very long time from their creation. IG only had 30 million users when FB bought it in 2012. Look at it now.
