The Feds really need to look into busting a few tech monopolies. We need more competition for prosperity.

Tech monoposonies are more dangerous. I worry more about the fact that Google controls the browser, search engine, video platform, and office programs, than that they control each specific one.

Someone can do just about everything one does on the internet without leaving the Google bubble. That's dangerous because they can, and do, use this to lie to and manipulate their users. They even admitted to wanting to "prevent the next Trump situation."

Google should be nuked. They should go back to being just one search engine out of many, rather than one of the oligarchs of the internet.
