      Yeah, Google, Meta, Amazon, and probably others really need to get broken up and get proper antitrust treatment. I say this even as someone who holds stock (like a total of 5 shares, so not much) in a couple of those. I used to dream of working at Google as well, but that dream died quite some time ago based on their actions and culture.

        I’ve recently got a description of their general climate from someone who apparently works in Google.

        These companies should be broken into like 24 pieces each.

        And their management of all time investigated thoroughly for anti-competitive activities.

        There should a Nuremberg tribunal for corps. And open one.

      That’s never going to happen. I’m not sure on what stipulates a monopoly in this scenario, but the fact that there’s bing, duck duck go, kagi, and a handful of others means it’s not really a monopoly which tells me there is some specific ruling here that they’ve determined is monopolistic behavior.

      Edit: yeah after reading the article, wtf Google…
