Google, Apple breakups on the agenda as regulators target tech

Errr, what about Microsoft?

They still have the dominant desktop OS and abuse that position constantly to push their own products.

"Since AT&T was broken up exactly 40 years ago, no company has faced the possibility of a regulator-led break-up in the United States until now."

Microsoft did and was ordered to split (into operating system and software divisions) until the verdict was overturned.

If they actually break up apple and google, it’s going to cause so much chaos that it might actually kickstart the venture capital markets into high gear again.

This would almost surely be a net positive for the world. Tech is way too consolidated now days.

About time, they should be split long ago, all the GAFAM/BigTech monopoly abusers. They are all the same.
