If Chrome has a full monopoly, guess what's the next logical action...

Might as well get it over with quickly.

In case it's not obvious, these crutches should be removed.

Treat Google paying Apple for the use of Google's search engine and Mozilla for the same thing, as anti-competitive (they're token gestures propping up the monopoly).

And break Google up in multiple companies. Not sure along which lines but I would steer towards platforms (Android + Chrome + Search + Docs + Cloud; banned from entering advertising), Play Store, Ads.

The same thing should be done to Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, etc. Nobody has the guts anymore.



> Nobody has the guts anymore.

I think nobody has the manpower to deal with all the shit. The EU already regularly fines big companies, but for every fine they get away with so much.


I meant more in the US. I think they had a fairly aggressive head of FTC but she's been removed (Lina Khan?).
