Without the discipline of meaningful market-based competition, digital platforms may act in ways that are not responsive to consumer demands."
UTILITIES
MAKE THEM UTILITIES!!!
Don’t worry, this is Job Hunting by people in the DOJ that are getting ready to retire and are looking for a cushy job on a board or as a consultant.
Good.
They may be free for public use, but they are not free for small business to use. And even if you pay to play, their nasty little hidden algorithms that no one ever wants you to know how they work...can make sure you are never seen and that means the public isn’t getting what they are searching for.
Take all their assets and lock them up. If treason has been committed carry out swift executions.
Apple shouldnt worry.
I can buy other phones, computers, tablets, etc.
I cant use a different Facebook and I cant get rid of Google, it keeps coming back..............
************************************************
Thats 100% correct. I can buy any one of the hundreds of non Apple smartphones and easily email, phone or text message with folks in the Apple ecosystem. Clearly, Apple hasnt constructed a monopoly.
But if I go with some alternative social platform other than Facebook or Twitter I CANT ENGAGE with folks who are on Facebook or Twitter which monopolize the customers in their respective spheres. This is INTENTIONAL ON THE PART of Facebook and Twitter...they want to be monopolies and make outcasts of and silence folks taking DEPLORABLE views,
Hell yes! Its about time. Years overdue in fact.
Alphabet is the absolute worst. Facebook is next. Then Twitter. They’re all clearly monopolies. They all engage in rent seeking activity and abuse of their market position as well as viewpoint discrimination. Don’t just look at them, bring antitrust actions against all of them.
They edit content= publisher. Publisher=libel. Once they started editing, they quit being a platform
This need to happen now.. we are running out of time.
They do this despicable censorship under various pretexts and justifications that have been proved to be just political bias.
Google especially has become too large, and control too much that they are dismissive and unresponsive to consumer complaints of censorship and bias. These three entities, particularly Google, have a huge controlling monopoly in the digital space. They are using this monopoly for political thuggery.
Utility
No content editing
Provide platform
Is Utility
censorship occurs with tools by the user.
Bust them up! Bust them up! Bust them up!
Censorship is illegal, censor them LOL
And I thought the sessions comments were dumb
Go after print media and televised news media too.
It’s about time. I hope this is just the beginning. Time to break up some of these global monopolies. Especially those who do not have American interests at heart.
They need to be charged with illegal in-kind contributions to one candidate in elections..................
They aren’t free. People pay by forfeiting a measure of privacy and free expression. They also support the advertising. More than a few are catching on.
FB and Alphabet [Google’s Parent company] are deeply in bed with the Intel services of the world, not just ours. Russia, China, EU, and any other dictatorship wannabes that have electricity wires, are all coalescing under their umbrella of ‘security’.
One world government?.....We already have it and nobody noticed...................
Many of these companies should have been under anti trust investigation long ago.... Instead they bought out regulators and elected officials and got more buyouts and consolidations approved.
All these huge tech companies are full dedicated to the ideology of ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT, with each nation just a political division within that sphere. That is their goal and they are well upon their way of achieving that goal............
