Opinion | Why Amazon, Facebook, Google and Apple are Bad for AmericaOpinion: Until now, the harms of big tech giants were hidden from the public because they offer free or low-cost services to consumers. But low prices mask a deep threat to our society It is urgent that anti-monopoly legislation be enacted if American democracy is to be saved. It was true in the 19th and 20th centuries and its true today. Understanding history teaches us the truth. It’s time to break up these monopolies PERIOD! POLITICO - professional dealers in fake boloney. Shame on you for peddling such nonsense.
