DOJ says Google must sell Chrome to crack open its search monopoly

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
They should force it to become a worker cooperative. It's the only solution that doesn't allow for corruption
brOURser comrade.
Nationalize?
For a lot of things yes.
However I do not want to use a browser developed by the US gov tyvm
how about the tuvalu government?
My comment is more in line with the corruption aspect. As much as I think they deserve it, giving it to the employees would be more akin to them winning the lottery. In the space of a year, they will have gone public, shareholders would have stormed in and we would be at square one.
Nationalisation at least has a chance of getting rid of the money corruption aspect. Sadly, the three letter agencies are probably deep in every browser already so I don't think any solution takes care of that.
I understand your point though. Personally, I will never use chrome no matter what happens, ha.
Yep, nationalize everything that's essential or at least offer a nationalized alternative and let the private sector try to compete.
I literally salivate at the thought of it happening to the telecom industries.
