Opinion: The worst ideas in Washington are often bipartisan. Big Tech is about to learn this lesson, if it hasn’t already
Conservatives don’t like these companies because they are owned and operated by sanctimonious Silicon Valley liberals subject to the worst sort of groupthink. Progressives don’t like them because they are colossal profit-making enterprises.
It’s not true, as Warren asserts, that the antitrust suit against Microsoft in the 1990s opened up the space for Google and Facebook to thrive. Microsoft never got the internet, and left the space open for Google and Facebook all by itself, as often happens with a large incumbent wedded to its successful business model .
Warren’s proposal is obviously formulated without taking any account of the interests of users and consumers, who are the ones who made the tech companies so large in the first place. This is all silly, as are the mergers that Warren pledges to break up, including Amazon’s acquisition of Whole Foods.
