In 2019 the European Union and U.S. Democratic Presidential Candidate Elizabeth Warren issued proposals that would regulate Facebook, Google and Amazon. Senator Warren proposed that the U.S. government should designate tech companies who have global revenue of over $25 billion as “platform utilities" and break them up into smaller companies. Senator Warren argues that the companies have “bulldozed competition, used our private information for profit, and tilted the playing field against everyone else.” Lawmakers in the European Union proposed a set of rules which incl…

It should definitely resist to building of monopoly and the judiciary be equipped to keep them in check for privacy violations
@9D2HFWNBiju Janata Dal9mos9MO
Fund homegrown alternatives instead in collaboration with other countries
@9CQ5GHQBharatiya Janata10mos10MO
Rather encourage creation of Indian alternatives
@9CQ537HBharatiya Janata10mos10MO
These are not indian companies. So no point. But had they been indian. Sure go ahead.
These companies should be nationalized
@964GXBBBharatiya Janata2yrs2Y
It is not upto the Indian government to break up American monopolies. If the question is trying to draw a parallel with Tata, Birla, Ambani etc, then the answer is No.
@95VQVDBBharatiya Janata2yrs2Y
Yes, if they are stealing the citizen's data
No, but Punish them if they commit any Offence.
@9288PQSBharatiya Janata2yrs2Y
no, but should promote more indian based companies to compete with them
@8XJBSGM2yrs2Y
They are American the Indian Government cannot do anything
@8TLKDXGBharatiya Janata3yrs3Y
It would be better if the goverment can regulate and control these MNC's with the laws already in place as the presence of these companies is mutually beneficial to these companies and the goverment and its revenue through tax collections etc.
@RadioBharatiya Janata3yrs3Y
Regulate it's influence and control and allow local Indian companies also grow to provide alternative to them
@8RFFGWQ3yrs3Y
Expand and popularize local services over antagonizing global services
No, but closer regulations for all of them
@8PXDFDV3yrs3Y
They are not Indian companies it is under us government control
@8PXCLK53yrs3Y
They are not Indian only us can break them
@8PR6QZ2Bharatiya Janata3yrs3Y
Yes, and promote the growth of indigenous companies, like China did.
@8KJQRCTBharatiya Janata4yrs4Y
Break up or not, their powers need to be curbed. They tend to be favour one side of the narrative consistently and people tending to disagree with their narratives often face suspensions or permanent bans even.
@9D4TNVCIndependent9mos9MO
The Government should not break up Amazon, Facebook and Google but should be cautious about their motives an should monitor them from time to time.
@8TD536SBharatiya Janata3yrs3Y
Keep a strict vigil on them and curb them if they are against national interest
@8S5RYR93yrs3Y
Government should not break up with Amazon, Facebook or Google but that doesn't mean that the government should forget local businesses
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, due to consistent violations of privacy data laws and manipulation of technology to prevent effective competition
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, due to consistent violations of privacy data laws and manipulation of technology in order to prevent effective competition
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, due to continuous violations of privacy data laws and manipulating technology to prevent effective competition
@72CCTSP2yrs2Y
Break up no but regulate.
@8F7WKXJ2yrs2Y
No, but the tech industry should be deregulated
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
No, but substantially increase penalties for continuous violations of privacy data laws
@558YLXV2yrs2Y
I support a study or inquiry to determine the degree to which these corporations engage in anti-competitive activities; if they are truly forming monopolistic companies, they should face the same kind of counter-monopoly rules as other major corporations.
@5Z8DMCG2yrs2Y
Not necessarily but Facebook and Google should be regulated to prevent the spread of misinformation.
@92JXK3J2yrs2Y
No, but the government should do everything in it's power to increase competition and free trade and ensure that these companies do not monopolize, even if it involves tax breaks, and ensure they respect the first amendment.
Deleted2yrs2Y
No this is unconstitutional, but the companies should be reviewed for antitrust violations.
@92JXK3J2yrs2Y
No, but the government should do everything in it's power to increase competition and free trade and ensure that these companies do not monopolize, even if it involves tax breaks.
@6M77WVV2yrs2Y
If it won't crash the economy yes.
@924MYCK2yrs2Y
No, but they should be regulated to prevent monopolies, and close all loopholes to ensure they are paying their taxes. Also, we should enforce laws that ensure they are providing adequate wages and working conditions for their employees.
Deleted2yrs2Y
Maybe in the future, we will have to.
@8NWQH6W2yrs2Y
Any company that engages in anti-competitive behavior should be broken up.
@9334YP32yrs2Y
The government has no business breaking up businesses, it should instead seize Amazon, Facebook and Google's assets and distribute those to the victims of their crimes.
@92XJ38Y2yrs2Y
Yes, but only if the companies are found to be using anti-competitive practices.
@7DGSRSM2yrs2Y
@92RHWYS2yrs2Y
No, but these "platform utilities" should have more regulations
Deleted2yrs2Y
No, but increase regulation of their business practices.
@92N5JGD2yrs2Y
no, but huge entities should be restricted in donating to political candidates.
@3HNRB332yrs2Y
Unfortunately I want to be able to give a yes or no, but I do not know enough about this to know for sure where I lean. I see the pros and cons of both sides and I've benefited from the services and/or convenience that amazon and google have provided although I'm dissatisfied with many of the policies at the same time.
@92JXK3J2yrs2Y
No. Increase regulation instead.
@92JCZ6T2yrs2Y
No. The US should handle that issue because Amazon, Facebook, and Google are headquartered in the US.
@MSelvig2yrs2Y
Not yet, but we should make sure they are following all laws and statutes related to their market.
@925J4RV2yrs2Y
@9242PWT2yrs2Y
Yes, but only those that bring harm
@8ZVHZPZ2yrs2Y
No, but large companies, such as those should have welfare checks on the employees a lot more, to make sure they're treated well.
