Elizabeth Warren Wants To Break Up Big Tech | All In | MSNBC

[kylestewart]

this is NOT the first or the second time government has had to break up mega companies.

[MrHarveyrex]

Elizabeth Warren also needs to break up the telecommunication monopolies such as AT&T, Comcast, Time Warner, Cox Communications, etc. And bring back net neutrality. And stop conglomerates from purchasing all these media news outlets. End corporate state ownership of the news media outlets. And make news media non profit and independent.

[kylestewart]

wonderful idea. amazon walmart have killed small business. facebook and google have done the same for social media

[chahinebinsaleh]

I agree with Senator Warren. Competition helps consumers and reduces prices ultimately.

[Spassbremse]

I'm warming up to Elizabeth Warren more and more...

[yuhanzhang]

Politicians clueless about tech companies should stay away from them. Which page your product stays is depending on SEO work and that’s your company’s task. Warren is unfit to be president if that’s her policy. She has been dumber than trump.

[novemberjohns]

How dare you feature a product that you created, on your own platform that you built, which society at large benefits from.

[KingGiL]

Tech industry running wild. Tech need to be regulated on a federal level.

[darrenhalstead]

It's fair, this is what capilism is, if you're gonna use someone's service to promote your product, it's only fair that they take a cut, nothing is free, this is how our economic system works

[Jestermon]

These are the people that call the President a dictator.

[Nick_]

This is just ignorant. Walmart also sells private label products (Kroger, Target, Whole foods too), There is an entire section in the App Store called "Social Media" and leaving Facebook costs you nothing, not to mention she never mentions Microsoft. (#1 computer operating system by a mile, #2 Cloud vendor, part of a duopoly in console gaming, etc, etc) oh and before I forget there are 2 companies named Alibaba and Tencent who would be popping champagne if this happens. Incredibly disappointed.

[novemberjohns]

If your business gets “killed” simply by being on “page 6” of the Amazon search results, you likely need to rethink your strategy.

[carmay]

While Amazon does use customer data to create its own products the percentage of those products compared to the market are very small, like below 10%. However where Amazon could get in trouble/be regulated is with its Alexa. Researchers are finding that Alexa recommends Amazons own products almost 20% of the time. While not even mentioning competing products. I really don’t see Amazon being forced to stop selling their own products simply because they sell other companies products. Now if they started refusing to sell competitors products then there would be a big problem.

[jesus-of-cheeses]

So I’m assuming all the people trash-talking Amazon here are not Amazon customers?

[touchdownraiders]

Free food, free healthcare, free daycare, free retirement, equals bankrupt country. Vote warren 🤪

[Brain_With_Limbs]

She is going to strength Asian tech companies by breaking up American tech companies.

[darubicon]

The two really big problems with this are :

1. These are not monopolies. Everything they do, other companies do “stand-alone” and still have some success.

2. Many of these services are nothing more than a convenience and aren’t critical or even very important to lower middle class lifestyle ( many of us just text or call to communicate and don’t shop online)

3. This really distances moderates who are seeing the choices as Reactionary fascists or Populist anti-corporate ambiguous idealists!

[mritalianhillbilly]

This is the Indian lady right? Or wait, since the wall is an issue, she’s a Mexican now, sorry I forgot.

[tommyl.dayandtherunaways]

Props to Liz Warren, she fights for what she believes in, I found her choice of "dream running mate" on Ari Melber (Teddy Roosevelt) very revealing of what drives her. Warren is an old school Progressive, a reformer above all else, waging war against corruption. That style can have both up and downsides. We shall see. I wish her all the best.

[stacyfanelli]

Why does this sound like Corporate America is very scared ?
