Microsoft was once broken up and they're bigger and scarier than before. Bill Gates then became a puppet for the New World Order and nobody cares about the Microsoft mega monopoly anymore.

The point is, breaking up the tech giants will only make them reform scarier unless the fundamental problems are addressed. Most recent example:

If you disagree with our "Authoritative sources" then you're banned and your videos removed

Youtube is clearly acting like a Publisher. Despite the 1984-style phrasing of "Authoritative sources" it can also be considered to be an "editorial department" which means Youtube is editorializing user content. I think for this confusion alone they can be sued (and any other site that uses that phrase). Into transparency. It's not clear and thus anybody who uses their site (specifically to make money) are at risk.

So how do we fix? 1: Extend the bill of rights to the internet especially if these companies want to exist in America. If these companies want to be massive platforms with widespread public voices then Marsh V Alabama needs to apply to them.

2: Update section 230. It's antiquated and not prepared for a host of problems people face with modern social media. Now that we've seen this "enforcer-like" behavior, we need to reinforce protections for citizens. Either way, these companies trying to censor us don't just get a free ride 230 excuse when sued.
