Elizabeth Warren calls to break up Facebook, Google and Amazon
Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts on Friday called for the government to break up Facebook, Google and Amazon, offering a plan to re-categorize the companies and reverse some major tech acquisitions.

Warren, who is running for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020, has been a part of a growing faction within the party that has called for greater regulation and antitrust enforcement of major tech companies.

No doubt these monopolies exist, and they are dangerous. But, given the changing landscape of tech, will they be here tomorrow?

Well google and amazon will, they provide actual valuable services. Facebook is vulnerable to going the way of myspace because it's basically a fashion thing, it relies on being the in thing rather than doing something you actually need that it does better than anyone else. I'd say it's the most dangerous of the three though, by far.

Good for at least a few hundred grand from K-street. She's a smart little squaw, isn't she.
