They dont want to just run it.
they want to control and dictate it.
Google needs a massive regulatory hammer to come down on it and smash it into dozens, if not hundreds, of tiny individual companies
That needs to happen more with Alphabet than Google but either would be great.
You and everyone on the entire planet knew what i meant.
There's no reason that people should assume you meant Alphabet rather than Google? Seeing as you used "Google" rather than "Alphabet" as they're two different words. English is fun!
I bet you sit at home, dumbfounded and confused, as to why people never invite you to parties/trips.
I'll cry into my filled weekend social life and life partner of over a decade, you pegged me just so accurately. Super relevant username btw.
Dude, you specified a company and I pointed out their parent company instead. I agreed with your original statement just indicated a better target. In the future, in social situations, a person who isn't filled with angst would normally say something like "Oh you're right, good call" or "Yeah, that would work too." Something that adds to and continues the conversation instead of being a weird, defensive neckbeard about it. Have a good rest of your life, bud.
Yeah, but we all knew what he meant and didn't feel like being a pedantic asshole about it.
So he has that going, anyway.
Clearly not from the up votes on my original comment. But I'm glad you could masturbate your ego there for a bit. Hope the dopamine helped.
Lemmy is so much worse than reddit for this antisocial shit, it's ridiculous. Only a handful of you seem to know how to continue a conversation without choosing to shoot snide remarks and condescension, then wonder why active users are dropping month over month.
Your original comment was fine. It was the second one that got you into trouble.
Both. Both is good.
nationalize these fucks
The internet is incredibly important to the modern society. Letting private companies only motivated by filling the pockets of the ~~old farts~~ shareholders run it is a bad idea. It's time we consider Internet infrastructure like any other type of infrastructure.
I find it wild we don't nationalize the banks we bail out with trillions of our tax dollars. Each and every one of us should be getting dividends on their profits, we should own half of the banks by now
I agree with you. But have you seen how California has handed over the power grid to private companies?
