    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.

          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.
