The biggest tech companies have gotten too big, presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren argues. She is proposing to break up Amazon, Facebook and Google, regulate them like utilities and unwind many of the acquisitions the firms have made in recent years.

2020 Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren speaks to local residents during an organizing event, Friday, March 1, 2019, in Dubuque, Iowa. Ten years ago, luminaries from the technology and policy arenas mingled in tuxedos and ball gowns, sipping cocktails and eating canapes in the Andrew Mellon Auditorium on Constitution Avenue. John Kerry was there. So was Ben Affleck. And, of course, Eric Schmidt was there. It was his party, after all.

"Today's big tech companies have too much power — too much power over our economy, our society, and our democracy. They've bulldozed competition, used our private information for profit, and tilted the playing field against everyone else. And in the process, they have hurt small businesses and stifled innovation."

Warren promises that her trustbusting proposal wouldn't affect the ways that consumers use the platforms -- that goods would still be available through Amazon, search still effective on Google, and people still able to keep up with their social circle on Facebook.change: Small businesses would have a fair shot to sell their products on Amazon without the fear of Amazon pushing them out of business. Google couldn't smother competitors by demoting their products on Google Search.

Pump the brakes and send that terrible fucking idea through the windshield

LOL..Never happen.

Not gonna happen.

“ You can’t be the Umpire and also the player” that was an interesting quote from her but I wonder if this idea can even work

Whoa whoa whoa! Break up Facebook and google if you please. Leave my amazon alone!

Good luck with that.

Her audience.

That's what antitrust statutes are for...

Terrible idea, terrible candidate

Wonder if she's right technology

Interesting. Yet, she would like the Fed Govt to control more and more. Is it any different?

She'll end up with A BROKEN heart ♥

Break up the US too.

You’re so stupid. It’s unbelievable. You wanna globalize. Companies need to leverage their asset to be able to compete. Need an Econ course to refresh your head

Some ideas are good. This is not among them.

😂😂😂😂sorry, She is using hate to divide. How many Liberal Democrats work at those companies?

Go have a beer and pray for forgiveness of your support of the demonic Late Term Abortion Bill. We will not forget.

Yes please, and keep them from coagulating in to one thing again

How does she feel about all those nfl players getting millions of dollars today and asking for more - mostly black athletes - no comments?

SenWarren We also must break up some of the giant media companies. They control all the news.

This alone pretty much breaks her presidential hopes

Google is broken up stupid. It's called alphabet

I can't believe I agree with her.

Iowa LOVES LIBERALS from Slicon Valley.

Elizabeth Warren unveils plan to 'break up big tech,' including Amazon, Google, FacebookDemocratic presidential candidate and senator Elizabeth Warren wants to 'break up' growing tech monopolies owned by Amazon, Google and Facebook because they stifle innovation and hurt small businesses. Great idea. Pass on the massive revenues these businesses have to smaller entities. One problem, these 'smaller entities' do not have to be American. All this achieves is taking vast amounts of revenue from the US Treasury and giving it to foreign treasuries. Thanks. Catch and kill How many small businesses rely on all 3 of those big companies? Facebook is free marketing for small business, Amazon makes it easy to ship your product, google makes it easy to find your product. She’s clueless
