Should Google And Facebook Be Dismantled ???

Emmanuel Macron, the French president, has warned that Google and Facebook are becoming too big to be governed and could face being dismantled.

Internet giants could be forced to pay for the disruption they cause in society and submit to French or European privacy regulations, he suggested.

In an interview with the magazine Wired, the president warned that artificial intelligence (AI) would challenge democracy and open a Pandora’s box of privacy issues.

The tech giants and big data mainly benefit corporations and oppressive government bureaucracies. They have destroyed our economies, invaded our privacy, polluted our minds, and apparently are accountable to no one (except the handful of people who own them).

I'm all in favor of breaking them up and seizing their resources.
