I'm happy to see this being noticed more and more. Google wants to destroy the open web, so it's a lot at stake.

Google basically says "Trust us". What a joke.

They've needed to be broken up for over a decade now, but that'd require the government to actually enforce antitrust/monopoly laws

The FTC is apparently going after Amazon, so I'd be curious to see how that goes

[–] Alto@kbin.social 26 points 1 year ago

Yup. It's the first FTC in a long time that's even tried to do their job. Really hoping they have success.

If it goes anything like Microsoft's antitrust trial, they'll drag it out until they get a complicit administration to settle with.

It's crazy to think that a little over two decades ago, Microsoft was almost broken up for selling an operating system and a web browser. How monopolistic!
