Sen. Elizabeth Warren ratcheted up her trust-busting message today in calling for the breakup of Amazon, Google and Facebook., Warren name-checked specific "anti-competitive" mergers she would have regulators unwind, including Facebook’s acquisition of WhatsApp and Instagram; Amazon’s purchase of Whole Foods and Zappos; and Google’s acquisitions of Waze, Nest and DoubleClick.
Warren is hardly alone among 2020 Democratic presidential contenders in applying more scrutiny to the market power of the nation's tech giants — Sens. Bernie Sanders and Amy Klobuchar have also talked tough on curbing Silicon Valley — but Warren's latest comments provide the most detailed roadmap of any candidate so far.Sign Up
President Donald Trump has also shown a willingness to weigh in on mergers, stoking concern of inappropriate White House influence over regulators, as in the case of the AT&T-Time Warner deal his administration unsuccessfully fought in court.

This just guarantees the Dems will take her down 👏👏👏
Democrats will destroy ALL JOB and control private Companies. SenateDems SenateGOP HouseGOP
Someone that's never created a job in her life. Creates nothing and solves nothing. Doing what all envious failures do, she tries to drag down her betters.
That’s actually not a bad idea, as long as gov is not involved in the remains 🤔 RightToPrivacy NoMorePoliticalCensorship
Calling it: Warren 2020
Big does not automatically equal bad. Big companies are fine and often provide efficient, cost effective services and goods. Bad companies are bad regardless of size and should be taken to the wood shed. If Warren believes big equals bad she is simply wrong.
Yes, we can’t be having these ‘ American ‘ companies leading the world.
Why has this gone on so long. Europe dealt with this expediently years ago. Time to break up Amazon, Facebook and Google And pass some real privacy laws!
To force big tech to pay big bucks to buy her change of heart. Politics as usual.

Of all the businesses to break up, I wouldn’t have picked these 3 🤔
Add the big three credit data collection overlords.
If a company is too big to fail then it's too big to exist. We need more politicians supporting policies like these.
When is she breaking up her campaign?
Socialism begins
For all of us non-billionaires this is great policy.
Granny is on the war path!

'Seize the means of production!'
