Google has too much power, and they're using that power to hurt small businesses, stifle innovation, and tilt the playing field against everyone else. It's time to fight back. That's why I have a plan to break up Google and the other big tech companies. https://t.co/0az1wjQIyt

Enforcers must do more than wring hands & warn about tech behemoths abusing their bigness. Their predatory power grabs demand strict & stiff investigation & antitrust action. A textbook case of stifling competition & pro-consumer benefits. https://t.co/46UOpi9blU

This is going to be quite the spectacle and the end of an era / beginning of a new one for the web if either (especially both) of these probes result in charges or a trial. https://t.co/e5OJODB4Ua

First, the DOJ was reportedly looking into an antitrust suit against Alphabet. Now the FTC is said to be circling Facebook. This is what's sinking tech stocks today more than trade. https://t.co/QqTb3FRDqk

Thanks — but I *do* think it’s more than that. Many sources reminded me that clearance processes only happen when agencies want to do work. It’s not just rearranging for its own sake. So this could yield new scrutiny but the form it takes is unclear. https://t.co/8RiBoRWaZV

It’s also important because there were lots of questions about why the FTC would just give up Google. And this answers that at least in some small way

Via the @nytimes newsroom: If the Justice Dept. pursues a case, it will almost certainly remind everyone that @Google, with its early motto of “Don’t be evil,” held itself to standards it sometimes couldn't didn't match. https://t.co/Ohs7TJ9smT

Same thing as google re antitrust... Amazon consumers win and doesn’t violate antitrust law. However, does amazon raise prices on their suppliers? Absolutely. In the 3P marketplace, who is amazon’s customer? Suppliers! https://t.co/XpGhIc615A

Wow: FTC to scrutinize Amazon on antitrust grounds, DoJ to take Google.

I am a big RSS user--blank stares for many--and I use @feedly for that (having happily survived the trauma of losing Google Reader). In my list of labels, Antitrust and Apple are right next to each other. Coincidence or karmic prescience?: https://t.co/sgmk0XG4vl #alphabetmaybe
