Would it make the internet better? Probably.

    I really would prefer them to go after Amazon and Apple before Google, or at least all of them at once.

      They should practice on ISPs and other broken industries first before these level 0 bureaucrats head straight for Dracula castle after not doing their jobs for 50 years and the Bell system re-merged. Kill Verizon & atnt, for instance

      Man, there’s such a long line of companies that need breaking up, I can’t see the end of it. The entire global economy is currently controlled by monopolies and oligopolies.

      Apple is not a monopoly in any sense of the word

        I don’t think Apple’s business model fits the definition of “monopoly”, but they are a different kind of anti-competitive, in my opinion. Forcing users to use your own ecosystem by forcing competitors to be shittier or nonexistent through technical means is still anti-competitive.

              Yeah, which is why I’ve never owned an iPhone. Hell, I was pretty big into Apple a while ago, but I never bought into the iOS. The OS convergence is why I completely jumped ship.
