Do it do it do it do it do it do it...

Smash them with a hammer. Google should not exist as it is. Not for decades.

Break up AdSense, chrome, search, android, shatter them all into separate companies that can stop selling out literally every waking aspect of life as their sole business model.

and then prosecute them for antitrust if those companies conspire together

Would adsense even be worth it without the search? I really don’t want that popping up in even more places. My thoughts would be

Google Search + ad sense Chrome Android Waze YouTube G Suite FitBit Nest

And then there’s a ton of other misc stuff I’m unaware of
