Breaking up monopolies or overreach? The DOJ’s recommendation to sell Chrome raises big questions about competition and consumer choice. Thoughts?
They should be forced to sell Android OS.
What government? Who’s? Ours be fucken up wet dreams
Watch, Meta gonna have it.
They’ve done Chrome so well. Monopoly or not, as a consumer I’d be worried that any sale could drive one of the best browser engines straight into the ground.
Why can this be possible? Chrome is like their baby, what would you say if you have to sell your baby?
Means nothing if the Trump administration doesn’t continue the lawsuit
Isn’t Chrome basically open source? Who is going to buy it? You’d basically be signing up for a high maintenance cost to develop something that anyone can fork and copy.
Outside of another tech conglomerate, who could afford to buy it and who could afford to maintain it? I don’t see any scenario where anyone who isn’t just as bad as Google doesn’t buy it and continue to abuse it.
It’s cute when fascism fights with itself.
Things like this are why silicon valley ghouls all rushed to kiss Trump ‘s ring
I think this is a perfect anti-trust case.
Google is already in the consortium that decides how the internet is being shaped with API specifications and whatnot. Them having a browser is not a conflict of interest here, however, them having the most used browser on the planet *and* shaping the internet to be in their favour?
That’s a problem.
