DeSantis Privately Called for Google to Be “Broken Up”
--

In previously unreported videos from a closed-door Teneo Network conference, Florida's Republican governor takes his anti-big tech rhetoric beyond what he has said publicly.

"Governments that govern the least of the corporations I like govern the best."
I sure wish Democrats said the same
and add in Amazon and MS and FB and all the others
So we agree on something.
@Brittle Anxious Nonlinear Inco @ProPublica Trump called for more infrastructure, did nothing. Their ideas aren't all bad, assuming they believe it.
@anubis2814 @bangskij They don’t. The aim of CONServatives & RepubliCONS is to kowtow these corporations into being preferential to them & doing their bidding.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
So he’s just fine with big government power as long as so-called conservatives are the ones wielding it.
I've long called for the Republican Party to be broken up.

So there. 😏
You know it's bad when Ron DeSantis has it correct.
Google Bard calls for Google to be broken up:

“I hope that the court will find in favor of the Justice Department and order Google to take steps to break up its monopoly”

Google Bard sides with the Justice Department in the Google antitrust case

“I hope that the court will find in favor of the Justice Department and order Google to take steps to break up its monopoly”
Me: The Justice Department sues Google for monopolizing digital advertising technologies. Would you side with the Justice Department or Google in this case?

Google Bard: I would side with the Justice Department in this case. Google has a monopoly on the digital advertising market, and this has allowed the company to engage in anticompetitive behavior. Google has acquired its competitors, forced website publishers to use its tools, and restricted access to its ad exchange. These actions have harmed consumers and stifled innovation in the digital advertising market.

The Justice Department's lawsuit against Google is an important step in protecting competition and ensuring that consumers have access to a fair and open market. I hope that the court will find in favor of the Justice Department and order Google to take steps to break up its monopoly.
