Facebook and Google are in real trouble.
Everyone in Silicon Valley is trained how to avoid Anti-Trust.
I had to go to training every year on it.
This is why Apple stayed out of the politics.

Perfect. Maybe they will be on their best behavior during the investigation. Hopefully it will go on for a year or two at least.

Apple shouldn’t worry.
I can buy other phones, computers, tablets, etc.
I can’t use a different Facebook and I can’t get rid of Google, it keeps coming back..............

It is time to introduce them to Mr. Clayton and Mr. Sherman. Both Grover Cleveland and Teddy Roosevelt became very popular when they took on Standard Oil & JDR.

Google one of the largest monopolies in the world"...Bing, its closest search competitor, has just 2 percent of the market — hardly a significant threat to Google’s 90 percent.1 Google also controls about 60 percent of the global advertising revenue on the internet.
"One of the primary reasons smaller advertisers cannot compete is because they don’t have the user data Google has. ..."

Microsoft stayed out of politics and it cost them as they were charged as a monopoly. Staying out isn’t the answer. Paying big bucks to both sides is.

There will be more sentiment for Facebook and Twitter than there was for Standard Oil because both platforms are essentially free for public use.
To: Red Badger
It sounds like a bunch of gobely gook to me. 3 years from now then someone might get a small fine. Then business as usual. They need to be charged with rigging elections.

At the very least, they are going to be a lot more careful about putting their fingers on the scale of partisan politics in the 2020 election like they have in the last few elections

The FBI tried to change the results of an election, steal the votes of 63 million Americans.
They are not to be trusted.
