Surely, this is now grounds for Google and Meta to be broken up as anti-trust?
In, this administration?!
I see your point but Facebook and Zuckerburg still got investigated for anti-trust a few weeks ago 🤣
Did anything happen?
I haven't followed the news since then but it will probably be another slap on the wrist even if Facebook has been chastised, like another fine that is drop in the bucket. Although if it gets persistent, it will affect Facebook's cash flow and revenue. It is one of many reasons why American tech giants have an axe to grind with the EU is because of persistent fine on violating data protection.
I don't understand how this would be grounds for them to be broken up as antitrust. But that is just a technical question about how this particular use of AI is relevant to antitrust law, Google and Meta definitely should be broken up as illegal monopolies.
