Time to break Google up an stop their monopoly power.

They are evil at heart, if you look at many of their censorship actions.

They have competitors still. We have Tesla/SpaceX and Amazon.

Yes, I think that is the only legit way their monopoly like influence could be diluted.

I don't think that is possible seeing how it is a private company.

I think sooner or later their monopoly power will be out of question. But we have to recognize that with no Google, we will be lacking of many accessible tools and information. So, it is better to have it than not to have it.

While I agree the danger of monopolies like Alphabet can induce great harm in the community, do you believe that some of the destructive realities of Alphabet's monopoly power could be mitigated by designating some of their business as a public utility or something along those lines? It would allow for stricter regulations to the applied sections of business and possibly even force them to hemorrhage market share as well.
