Presidential hopeful Sen. Elizabeth Warren wants to break up Apple by separating its control of the App Store from its ability to sell its own apps on its marketplace, the Democratic senator from Massachusetts told The Verge.
In her interview Saturday with The Verge editor Nilay Patel, Warren elaborated on what this breakup would look like for Apple. She said there was"no special reason" the company was left out of her Medium post. Warren compared the dominance of tech companies to railroad companies, which also faced antitrust scrutiny over a century ago.
All these tech businesses need to be broken apart. Not just Apple. Microsoft, Ticket Master, WhatsApp from Facebook.. lots of them.
KEEP ON DREAMING ESTÚPIDA AMOTHET OCASIO..CORTEZ LOCA !!!!!!!!
What kind of beer she was drinking in the office? 🍺
This why she will not get elected.
And tell me again what company she started and lead to prosperity again?
Normally, a candidate will take a stand on a topic that would be popular to their base. Whoever told her to take this particular stand, is a mole for someone else. Anyone else.
😂 😂 😂
Elizabeth, it's better to eat an Apple rather than breaking it.
My god can’t they come up with new fodder? Microsoft antitrust lawsuit decades ago...its all Bull 💩
Another anti-American
That's like saying if you serve in government you can not run for president.
break up Elizabeth
Liar, Pocahontas Warren is already imploding. Not going to the WhiteHouse. ewarren ElizabethWarren
Lil lizzy = scary witch
People trust big tech more than big government. If Apple the Corporation ran for public office against ewarren, it would win by a landslide. In fact, if an actual Apple 🍎 ran against her, the Apple would also win the popular vote.
How does she keep getting elected.

Does this also mean that grocery stores will no longer be able to sell their own branded food in its stores? This would likely have a significant impact on media companies like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast.
I guess she is running hard to not be President. and to think, msnbc thought she was the de facto front runner.
Wow. What a brilliant election strategy.
😲
Why would she break it up?
Desperately searching for resonance, relevance
Drives using the rear view mirror
Since I own Apple Stock, I would not vote for you. Since Apple stock is one of the most widely held stocks, you have gjven a lot of people reasons not to vote for you.
The key word is . . . “If”. Oh, EW why make more silly statements?
Liawatha will never sleep in the White House.
Why would you break up Apple? They have no monopoly. I can buy an Android phone like Samsung or any other phone. She’s pissed because they make great products
ewarren that's exactly how I feel about you. PLEASE don't run for president. You idiotic behavior and actions would make other great country U.S.A broke.
Here’s what America needs to do. Not vote in people who want to destroy our country. In the mean time. Let’s vote out everyone who wants to destroy our country, including Miss Warren.
Government destroys everything they touch. This Warren lady wants to destroy a highly successful business but yet she Couldn’t keep a highly successful business successful. Here’s a thought. Why not help make business stronger and more successful instead of trying to destroy it.
Aannnd this is another reason why she won’t be president
Why is it any of her business
She will never become president .
No one needs to worry about this leftist bordering on communism. She isn’t going anywhere. President? Lmao
Why do Democrats all want poverty & breadlines?
She is insane, her party is insane. We will all be living in shantytown - power to the people or government?
No. Totally stupid. She will not get my vote. And I am a liberal Democrat
Is she drinking again ?...
Google, Amazon, and Facebook would re-think their Democrat positions.
I hope she won't break up America with all her breaking of stuffs.
That would be like telling our company that we couldn't host our own website on our own network to sell our own hosting service to clients, dumb! As much as we dislike Godaddy or Hostgator business models, we wouldn't wish for them to be broken up for success, we would be next.
Even the folks that are Diehard Samsung supporters think this is dumb smh 🤦♂️
Destructive
Pretty dumb for a supposed smart person. Add to that no charisma or empathy, her chances of winning nomination are poor!
She got her priorities screwed up. Go fix the runaway healthcare.
She must hate Face ID as much as I do.
🤮
Notch
That alone will dq her
Mad Libs Warren: “When I’m President, I will break up ________.”
Never gonna happen so stop wasting your carbon footprint with this nonsense.
Translation... if you’re successful you’re bad and must be shown who’s boss.
She’s normally on point with what she wants to do but the apple thing makes no sense to me. I think that there is a lot of competition in their markets.
Why? This is socialism in the making. I too am part native American, will I get reparation, or is that just a ploy to get votes?
She is nuts
Good luck. Its stocks have been split seven times; how beneficial can a breakup be?
Off her rocker 🤮
Nut ball
Not happening even if she were president.
That’s what socialist do. That’s why you never be president!
Does that mean she doesn't think all companies should run their stores and sell their own product lines in them? Like supermarkets, and department stores?
President Trump 2020
I sure hope that the media does not give her the attention you all gave to Mr. Trump... in my humble opinion, she is not the solution wecandobetter
Why does Warren want to break the most successful economic system the world has ever seen? Why does she think she is smarter and wiser than 100s of yrs and millions of people's experience?
What What?
She is awful. New stupid policy every week trying to get something to stick when the truth is people don’t like her.
Hopefully it involves recovering all of the salary and I’ll-gotten gains of tim_cook! Right Tim? Still pretend they’re on your side as SJWs? Plenty of room on the Trumptrain Tim Apple! (Typed in my FANTASTIC Xs 👍)
She's running for president and that's her main concern.
Amazon? Absolutely break them up. But...Apple?
Lol, it’s like she doesn’t want to win. Keep up the good work, Pocahontas
Shouldn’t she be standing out in front of a cigar store somewhere?
Stupid Dems can only break things.
Don’t worry, you won’t be elected...
Front runner for worst platform
Apple and google are not the problem. Clean water, fossil fuels, guns and corruption are.
LEAVE APPLE ALONE!
Well thank goodness she won’t make it to President
Why not break up Ticketmaster?
This is nonsense... we don’t need another Bernie
We need to break up the most horrific monopoly of all, the U.S. federal government and we need break out the guillotines for all politicians.
Cutting board and a paring knife? She’s drunk.
With that Apple scenario applied to her. she shouldn’t be able to vote on her own ideas or candidates of choice.
This is perfect. Let’s announce now... Trump wins 2020! Haha 🤣
Atlas Shrugged was not an instruction manual. She doesn't seem to understand that.
Wow
But Comcast, AT&T and Verizon nah.
Where does she want us to get our apps? From
No worries she will never be president.
Ridiculous
These ppl don’t like to see success! She will never will for Presidency
As bright as she is I believe she is running on a losing platform...
Apple has gone rotten, fallen off the tree and the Chinese have picked it up and eaten it !
Oops... she just lost. This why we have Trump. Dems. What is she proposing? Have one store for Mac and one for iPhone and one for iPad and one for iTunes? Libs really don’t understand what’s happening, do they? Apple is not AT&T or a utility. It’s a hardware company.
Apple decided to divest itself of AirPower so not to corner the market in Qi wireless solutions.
shall review info thanks for info CNBC
😂😂😂
😭🤣😅 bomedy
You will not be president so it doesn't matter.
😂😂😂😂😂
Omg say Apple one more time in your article about how she refers to all big tech but doesn’t mention *Apple* specifically. More clicks, I know.
Warrior Warren has better game and is way more ballsy than Saint Bernie, no doubt. Far healthier and better groomed too.
