Wrong, big tech was birthed by government. As public companies now you might own shares in them through your IRA etc but their birth and their size were directly helped by government and now protected by government
I also neglected to mention that what we know of as Facebook was made by darpa and handed over to zuck to rebrand. If the US gov entirely funds and has input into development of something, it’s a public utility and strict 1A etc apply on that system
What the fuck are you talking about? Face book was a shitty php script hacked together but idiot college kids. The only redeeming feature was that it had a login page at first and was restricted to Harvard students at first (where did Zuck go to uni?).
Their first 500k in investment was from Peter Thiel.
Oh go fuck your self. I'm in the fucking industry. DARPA and related ministries funded OpenBSD and whole fucking shitload of FREE TECHNOLOGY THAT WAS GIVEN AWAY TO THE FUCKING WORLD. DARPA literally create the fucking internet THAT EVERYONE USES FOR FREE.
You cannot be this fucking stupid?
Oh, wait.
I know you. You are one of those fucking Q people.
Okay, since you are too stupid to understand insults, let's try your Q bullshit: show me SINGLE DOCUMENT that shows private, public or other FUNDING of big tech that is NOT CONSIDERED INVESTMENT.
So? It's a service contract. CIA, NSA, FBI buy shit from Boeing, Northrop and all kinds of places.
Does the government get to take over Boeing? Northrop?
Your fucking HYDRO and ELECTRICITY are directly subsidized by government contracts, grants and r&d including huge amounts of research into nuclear and more recently fusion (hopefully that comes up soon as a positive). Does the government get to make your fucking house a public commodity?
DARPA paid for the invention of the internet that you are using now including most of the technologies it runs on (unix, fibreoptics, et al). ALL FINANCED BY GOVERNEMENT RESEARCH GRANTS AND CONTRACTS.
Does the governement get to take that too?
You are a fucking communist. Your head is stuck so far up your arse you can't tell what is a grant, what is a support contract nor do you have any clue what it means to have a business, get some grants, win some contracts, make contacts, build relationships, sell some stuff.
Ever own a business? Ever do business with government? How'd that work out for you?
Because, if you did business with a western government, it went pretty fucking well for you BECAUSE THEY RESPECT PROPERTY RIGHTS ENSHRINED INTO THE CORE OF WESTERN CIVILIATION.

Do you even know how anything works?
Okay, let's play your fucking game. WHAT DID GOVERNMENT DO TO BIRTH BIG TECH?
Go.
I fucking dare you to try and make this argument. I want everyone to see this.
A few hundred million dollars of darpa funds and an undisclosed amount of black budget funds ongoing under the agreement of data sharing

Have you been smoking parmesan again?
You cannot possibly be this fucking stupid?

Go motherfucker. I fucking dare you.
You literally just proved my point even better than I did. Time to stop hitting the crack pipe and digest what’s on the screen
Do you?

You utter fucking moron.
You really need help.
No one is going to take them over, but to think they are not heavily involved and protected by the government is idiotic.
Now run along fascist
Those are support contracts. Whats your point?
Do you lease a car? Thats the same shit. You fucking Q mother fucker.
