@@deviladv you didn't understand what they meant when they said it'd hurt google etc. Basically, Google being a monopoly is not BAD for consumer, that is, No consumer is getting harmed because Google is the only search engine. And in order for DOJ to break up Google, they first need to prove that Google being monopoly is bad for public. Which is hard to do. Like the more people use Google search, Google algorithm gets better, that is the bigger monopoly google is better the search result for Consumers. HOWEVER opposite is true, that is by breaking up Google, it would harm their entire structure as Google not just their profits, and that'd hurt Consumers a lot. For ex. Google Maps is the most important and most ambitious service ever offered by anyone. And millions of Consumers use it for FREE OF COST. The only reason Google can offer such important services to millions of customers is because THEY ARE BIG TECH. Also look at youtube, when Google acquired KZbin, it monetised the platform, that is from now on youtubers started making whole lotta money, making comfortable living just by uploading shit on KZbin. Even today Google operates KZbin at a huge loss. By breaking up Google you will have to pay for Google Maps, and other Google services which millions need, and they won't be as robust and efficient as they are now. So, increasing compitition by breaking up BIG TECH is BAD for public.

You guys should look at a company called Brave. They're building a privacy-focused browser called Brave which blocks all ads and tracking by default, and a new model of advertising called the Basic Attention Token which aims to complete flip upside-down the traditional "aggregate and advertise" model that Facebook and Google built their businesses on. It's like Richard said at 12:31-the data stays on your device (and because Richard sounded skeptical about the fact that it will respect your privacy, everything they're building is open source), with a combination of contextual targeting, and relevant ad matching done with local machine learning. The user also gets rewarded for their attention, and can redistribute their earned tokens to all the creators and publishers they support (I just tipped this channel). There are already 5.5 million Brave users (I'm typing in Brave right now), and some publishers are already earning 4 figures per month from BAT donations, which is significant, because they would otherwise be earning $0 from the same users, who are more than likely young, wealthy owners of the 600M+ devices blocking ads today. (Sidenote: you guys didn't mention Google's plans to implement their own adblocker into Chrome which blocks everything the Coalition for Better Ads-made up of the "big boys" in digital ads-deems unacceptable, which is one of the biggest reasons I've seen people call for antitrust action on Google.) The CEO of Brave is the creator of JavaScript and co-founder of Mozilla/Firefox, so he's already done both things necessary to make this project successful: restarted the browser wars, and created a web protocol that becomes a global standard. They're going to create an SDK for the Basic Attention Token later this year, which will allow this model to be implemented into anything from apps, to other browsers, to games, to podcast apps, and anything else that runs on attention. Oh, and the Basic Attention Token is already an approved currency in the iOS App Store. My 2019 prediction: Brave triples its user count, becomes a serious competitor in the browser wars, and starts to make waves with creators and publishers. I wrote about this here: hackernoon.com/how-google-collapsed-b6ffa82198ee (cited in the book Life After Google, which you'd both enjoy) and here: hackernoon.com/the-attention-revolution-your-next-browser-will-pay-you-b8b12399c3f7

"individually consumers are not worth much"? Well that's just wrong. 25 years ago a qualified phone number in the hands of a marketer was worth $10-15 per person. 15 years ago a qualified email address was worth $50. I cannot believe that today we are not worth much. If we were not worth much then they would sell me privacy; and in fact they sort-of do. Unfortunately is gets a little crazy when you consider the cost of GSuite and that google dominates the desktop and it's other services like DNS. You don't know what you don't know.

Why is the difference between a platform company and a media company not defined by the nature of the recipient of information rather than the nature of the sender of information? In the case of publishers, information is published and accessible to anybody willing to access or pay for it. In the case of, whereas platforms are conduits for information to be moved from one identifiable individual to another identifiable individual. The information conduited by platforms is inherently private, whereas the information publicized by publishers and media are anything but private. Facebook cannot claim to be a conduit / platform because they do not provide delivery of private communication for anyone. Moreover, that which they publish is generally not targeted even to a narrow group of identifiable people. They would have to radically change their business model into something completely unrecognizable by users today in order to meet this definition of a platform. But if they did, anyone would have a problem with them.

Would people pay for a Bing or lower level search engine to get privacy back? I think so. These are the moral and finacial drives for one or more Google competitors. D.o.J. will not save me. Banks are still "Too big to fail" as a case in point. "We the people" will have to do it.
