Would it make the internet better? Probably.

    You’d think they’d have more sophisticated remedies than cutting it up. Which won’t improve anything, won’t change the incentives and will eventually put us right back where we started.

    I mean duck manifest v3, but the government abdicated their responsibility for 50 years and now they think they’re going to save us with solutions from 1930 ? Do better you ducks !

      You think breaking up a monopoly won’t do anything? What?

        lol, yeah it sure worked on Microsoft.

        Oh wait, they just spent the next 20 years re-consolidating.

          So it broke their monopoly for 20 years? That’s…a lot. Imagine if we had a consistently not corrupt DOJ for 20 years.

        In the long term, no. It’s a temporary measure. It’s like fighting against entropy.

            In countries where monopolies are forbidden, internet costs about €20 per month

            I’m guessing OP is paying about $80 lol

            It’s a Red Queen’s Race.

            Well, in our country," said Alice, still panting a little, “you’d generally get to somewhere else—if you run very fast for a long time, as we’ve been doing.”

            “A slow sort of country!” said the Queen. “Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!”

              Well the important thing is to make sure everyone knows it’s impossible to make any sort of positive change, ever.

              Clowns lol

                Whoever said anything about that? You can make positive changes, just don’t expect them to be permanent. Nothing is permanent. That’s life! Eventually we all die.

                  If you have a competent anti-monopolistic government, you can make positive change faster than the market makes negative change.
