Breaking Up Google
I have long been opposed to government efforts to break up Google on
antitrust grounds. My general feeling about such efforts involving
large tech firms is that they typically do more harm than good in the
long run, and I point to AT&T as an obvious example among many.
However, the confluence of Google's "hell bent for leather" AI push,
the rapid decline of Google Search, the damage Google's new AI
policies are doing to websites all over the Net by taking their data
and starving them for views, the continuing and worsening problems of
Google Account lockouts and recovery failures and associated data
loss, and the continuing acquisition of consumer product firms (Nest,
Fitbit, etc.) forcing people to use Google Accounts who previously did
not need to, is causing me to reluctantly rethink my positions on this
issue and other issues associated with regulatory matters impacting
Google. -L
