Americans have offered their initial judgment of Elizabeth Warren's plan to break up large technology companies: they don't support it.
Warren, the Massachusetts senator now seeking the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, has emphasized her commitment to challenging corporate power. Her proposal aims to break up tech giants with global revenue of at least $25 billion, with the goal of helping consumers and small businesses by improving competition and preventing abuses of corporate power.
The telephone survey of 1,000 adults, conducted March 23-27, carries a margin for error of 3.1 percentage points. Just 36% call themselves satisfied with the amount of federal oversight and regulation of companies such as Facebook and Twitter. But they plainly don't want those companies' services to go away.

If she wants to break up monopolies she should start with the Federal Government...
Who did you ask the Main Street or the Wall Street?!

She is so desperate. She’s just throwing stuff against the wall and seeing if it sticks.
ewarren I believe the NBC poll on breaking apart tech companies is sheer nonsense. Apparently breaking up according to what can be deciphered from the poll question was interpreted as banishing or do away. The definition of Breaking up is whole to parts, not do away!
Of course they don’t support it! If she gets her way, she will break up every industry. This is a capitalist country, not a socialist country! This destructive mentality cannot & should not be supported!
I am not sure exactly what problem she thinks she is solving by breaking them up. Either way it is fatal to her run for president.
What’s the big deal? Government broke up Standard oil and AT&T they did fine. Some companies voluntarily break themselves up, though they call it a spin off.
They ain't Standard Oil.
Shrieks At Sky is not favored by the Great Spirit.
Don’t worry she will have new plan next week.
Shouldn't they be worrying about making government more successful instead of stopping successful businesses in our capitalist Society?
Well duh....she’s bad shit crazy thinking she could break up Apple. I mean come on they didn’t even compromise for the FBIs demands for a back door to hack a phone. She’s probably just made they didn’t send her money for support. Btw if you think tech is bad..why r u on Twitter
1/1024 Native American Liz Warren is desperately searching for an agenda to run on for President....she is tossing every idea against the wall and hopes something sticks!
Here’s the issue, there is no issue. Nobody cares if Apple is a big company. Apple is ubiquitous and it delivers a great product. Amazon is ubiquitous and it too delivers a great product with amazing speed and efficiency and typically the lowest price. Hard to end that.
Yes, we do.
Probably because they haven’t heard Elizabeth Warren tell them why big tech is bad for America. Hint, big tech is bad for humanity.
A break up could be a bail out or a reset...? (leveraged national debt or level the playing field...?)
But stick with the cranky grandma routine, by all means.
Nope... The Groper and the Creeper are out also
