people just never learn that companies cannot be trusted...time and time again, they work to steal and claim ownership of your intelligence.

people don't need to learn that. these things need to be regulated. also Google needs to be broken up to like 12 pieces or nationalized. what needs to happen is companies not have this much power ever.

Famously Americans did the splitting thing once before with Standard Oil and it was immensely beneficial to the economy in general. Just checked the wiki and it was more than 100 years ago. Unlikely the same laws are still on the books.

There are several companies currently active that deserve the same treatment.

Hey we did the same thing with AT&T! Split them into a bunch of smaller companies which then merged back together after a few years...shit...
