> a great US institution

So, too big to fail, but to small to be a monopoly that abuses it's power?

Appropriate last name. So any institution that lies, cheats, and steals their way to top is absolved of all wrongdoing just because they got to the top?

I'm more on your side than most but surely you don't think zero antitrust enforcement is best for our country?

I kinda somewhat reluctantly agree with you, and I think other commenters are missing the point that breaking up Google may allow non-US competitors to rise up and take Google's place on the world stage. Thus, breaking them up is not in the national interest of the US.

Ah yes, the great US institution of ad tech. Mass privacy intrusion in the service of selling clicks for a nickel.

Capitalism requires some level of regulation to avoid eating itself.

So because Google monopolizes on a big enough scale, suddenly they are too important to break up? I would argue that if any single company is big enough to where if it were to break up it would be "against the national interest," then it is too big and must be broken up.

Companies like modern Google should not be permissible in the even firster place.

Bring back Ma Bell and Standard Oil they were great US institutions!
