I’m finding that enjoying Google products and services on Lemmy is a hot take. Personally I use a Pixel phone and use nearly all Google services from Gmail to Keep.

    The problem with Google is that it has its fingers in too many pies.

    The same company runs:

    • the OS of the computer in half the world’s pockets
    • the quasi-monopolistic client (Chrome) for the world’s only open-standards app platform (the web)
    • the crushingly dominant video platform

    And so on. This is obviously a big problem in a world where information is power.

    Google needs to be broken up at least as much as the oil and railroad companies did a century ago.

      Google needs to be broken up at least as much as the oil and railroad companies did a century ago.

      This is probably the biggest truth right now, and applies to almost all the big tech corps.
