Monopoly or Duopoly. Either way, it's gotta be taken down.
It cannot be taken down unless there are many changes in several countries; however it will be quite the achievement to reform or have revolution in only one or two countries in the next generation.
The only hope in all this is that technology changes, and what Google has control over will be obsolete in a decade or more.
Cold comfort.
Need another Roosevelt to come along and take an anti-monopoly hammer to these big companies and shatter them into pieces
From my understanding, busting monopolies, without changing the underlying structures, only creates Oligopolies which coordinate together.
It’s going to take far more than that
