So stoked. Both the breakup and the data remedy are essential to breaking this monopoly permanently. Death to Google

    That's exactly what happened with Microsoft in 2001 because Bush won

      And that happened with the banks because Obama won which was actually way worse and left way more people in ruin; I wouldn't hold your breath. "because bush won" is a big too much credit to either side for being different. They are all financed by these groups and have their cabinets and advisory boards tied to these groups and google is one of the largest institutions in the state department and intelligence apparatuses. And even if anything does happen (if), I'm betting it's going to be a sleight of hand actively overseen by google executives and their advisory-counces-to-government

        It would have been probably inadequate under Gore, but even after Bush's slap on the wrist, the Microsoft trial itself was incredibly effective at breaking Microsoft's total stranglehold on tech.
