How would there be thousands? There aren't thousands of nations, and everyone would still use Google.

If you break it up, that's how you get thousands of shitty versions.

Maybe some countries might disable Google if it was owned by the US, but I have a feeling those countries already have their own issues with Google as it stands now.

I just think if the monopolistic corporations are too big and too essential to take down, then nationalization is a solution with many more positive traits than negative.

That hasn't been the case if you look into what happened with Microsoft and browsers.

The other thing is

everyone would still use Google.

Is actually wrong, and what they proved with the antitrust case itself. A huge chunk of the anticompetitive activity was Google paying to be the default because people don't change the default.
