    Google, like the other big tech companies, absolutely need to be broken up with antitrust. Not destroyed, just broken up to force the resulting smaller companies to be more competitive instead of relying on their size and market domination to exploit everyone from their consumers to their employees. Everyone would benefit from that including investors who would see more growth.

    But Trump doesn’t say that because their monopolistic position allows them to pull increasingly anticonsumer practices. He just wants to raze it to the ground because they don’t block search results that hurt his endlessly fragile ego.

      See, I think some advisor said “we gotta say something about this DoJ antitrust thing with Google and take credit for it.” And Dementia Don the 34-time convicted felon who can’t be assed to pay attention to anything that isn’t attached to his daughter’s chest, heard: “Google wants justice” (or something; I can’t get my head that far up my own ass to see things from his PoV)
