Seems like this should be illegal, Google should be broken up, and its leadership imprisoned
I’m down for a breakup but I don’t see how we could twist this into illegality.
It might not be currently illegal but I think there should be a law defining "crimes against society" that only applies to corporations and politicians. It could be vague like "disorderly conduct" but just for corpos and politicians and would include things like lying to the public and could have punishments like corpos losing their business license (death) and banishment to the moon/sun for politicians.
Overly vague laws are never a good thing.
