Now go after google re Chromium...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

IIRC they've already started going after anti-adblock updates to Chromium.

Remember: If a massive corporation is vehemently against something, it's probably good for you.

Yeah we really need these antitrust reforms - just look up how many / what subsidiaries Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. own. For example, Microsoft owns GitHub (biggest market share for CI / CD platform) and basically owns OpenAI (biggest market share for GPTs / AI).

Look up Microsofts Anti-trust lawsuits from the '90's, this isn't their first rodeo.

Giving Apple a loan to keep the company out of bankruptcy in the 90's largely made the anti-trust stuff go away.
