Stop using it or support breaking up monopolies, that simple.
That's not the way to handle this. Free market conservatives should be using this as an opportunity to bring competition to the market, not ask the federal government to fix it.
Ma Bell? Not exactly the same thing as companies operating in a market with infinite opportunities to compete.
Breaking up Facebook and Google is the dumbest idea I've ever heard. They don't have and never could have a monopoly in their industry unlike MaBell.Wut?
Having 90% of the worldwide search engine business in 2020 is not a monopoly for Google?
And who is Facebook's competition? My Space?
People choose to use Google. I don't because I don't have to and don't like them. Not a monopoly.
Facebooks competition? Twitter, Instagram, MySpace, etc. as well as every message board on the web including this one.
Do you even internet, bro?
First, Instagram is owned by Facebook.
Second, do you understand the back-end tools that Amazon, Google, and Facebook, have in their portfolio? These companies certainly have an oligopoly on internet technologies.
Companies on the internet should be limited to the service that they provide. Platform, Advertiser, Vendor.
Amazon shouldnt be able to host your product for sale, view and control your margins, know your supplier, accept your advertising money, track your sales data, see an opportunity, create a generic version called "amazon basics" and then use the info it gained about your product while selling it to put you out of business and be the new source for your product.

Why not? They created the platform and created the market, if vendors don't want to sell on Amazon they don't have to. Amazon owns the IP to the entire platform.
Youre incapable of engaging in normal conversation. You're basically a trump bot. I dont have the energy to talk to you about why monopolies are bad when you are physically incapable of normal conversation. Your demon Jizz and Herman Cain response has pretty much solidified you as an irredeemable boot licker.
So basically, I ask a question that challenges a point you were super proud of, you can't sanely respond, and you lash out.
If Trump retweeting a doctor who says demons rape you in your sleep can't convince you that he's reckless, what chance do I have?
Our government has the power to limit the size of corporations, and has used that power many times in the past (for good and bad.) One only needs to look through history to see why such large corporations controlling industries is a bad idea. From telecom, to airlines, to Oil, banks, securities, tobacco...
Believing corporations should have the ultimate power to run our economy is assheaded.
The thing is, you're seeing Zuckerberg argue for regulation because he knows that it will erect barriers to entry for new competitors. So the "infinite opportunities" angle is going to evaporate very quickly because people want "fairness" and don't know what they're wishing for.
Do you also get enraged and butthurt when you see Publix brand products competing with the name brands on their own shelves?
I honestly can't believe that both sides, for the most part, agree that government should be regulating this stuff. The government will make things "fair" by determining what they want you to hear or see. Thats a scary proposition.
I kind of have a problem with Zuckerberg saying that Facebook isn't the arbiter of truth but also taking action to quell opinions. He can do whatever he wants with his company but he's talking out of both sides of his mouth there. Not to mention the fact that you can't even get HCQ without a prescription so it's not like people might hear the opinion that its a cure and then take a years worth of it in a day. There's really no danger to public health with this.
All I know is the end result isn't very ideal and eventually self terminates. Does it mean the gov steps in? Not saying that. We must choose a different course. This shit needs to be thought about outside of the current game being played.
A company is a monopoly if they can limit consumer choice and competition and can be proven to be doing so. I think amazon is the opposite, consumers have choice and access to products that they probably would never have considered or knew about in the past.
Amazon using their own data to create their own brand offerings doesn’t change that fact. In fact it’s just a boost to consumer choice and competition which is the antithesis of a monopoly.
I would bet everyone here uses Amazon and do so because it’s the best value going right now.
