Large companies are also needed for innovation and economic prospers. Big companies have also provided major advancements in research and development with funding that couldn't be provided from smaller businesses. As long as companies aren't causing consumer harm, it shouldn't be necessary to break them apart.

There should be room in the market for more than four big companies. Also, the main owners of these companies are making vast amounts of money while smaller companies can barely get by. However, it would be nearly impossible to break up big companies with billions of dollars. ]]> 2021-03-08 12:58:37 UTC https://padlet.com/rpmoore1/dr5u8zvnhcozefq7/wish/1281762124 https://padlet.com/rpmoore1/dr5u8zvnhcozefq7/wish/1281762845 Big tech companies should not be broken up.

It takes away from smaller companies, but also it can be harmful because once enough people rely on one source then that source has an unnecessary amount of power. Once you have this much power, it's significantly easier to get away with things that a company shouldn't be able to get away with.

On the other hand, once a company gets very big, it can be harder to break up in the future. Also, it could get to the point were you could only access the internet by Google which could narrow out the variety. So I think it should be broken up eventually.]]> 2021-03-08 13:05:43 UTC https://padlet.com/rpmoore1/dr5u8zvnhcozefq7/wish/1281790143
