On: Google should be broken up, say European MPs

[datashovel]

I kind of feel sorry for Europe, that their leaders can't see the enormous positive impact Google is having on the world.

And in general I hate behemoth corporations. Google is different. The moment they start behaving like other Fortune 100 companies is the moment I stop rooting for them.

There are still too many complacent monopolies in the world to break up Google. Unfortunately Google is the only one with the money and the balls to fight them.

And of course we should change the taxation just to make them stop evading?

I definitely don't believe in doing illegal things. If they're doing illegal things they should be prosecuted. If what SHOULD be illegal is NOT illegal, then IMO that's on the law makers.

They're having a lot of negative impact as well. They're not the paragon you believe they are.

The 'there are other worse things so we can ignore this' argument? Really?

Forgive my ignorance. What are we ignoring?
