If Congress is competent at advocating for the capital class (which is supposed to be the one thing they are good at), they have no interest in breaking them up. The congressional hearings are basically “hey, you’re making us look bad so tone it down a little”. They’re scolding their child so they don’t look negligent and so the child will hide the shitty stuff they’re doing better. Do you have any idea how much our surveillance state’s budget would have to skyrocket if Facebook and Google actually got trust busted? They make that surveillance cost effective and as a reward they are granted monopoly status
