The answer to this month’s question of whether platform-based tech giants Amazon, Apple, Facebook, or Google should be broken up was a resounding “no.” “TD in FL” put it succinctly with one of the age-old defenses of capitalism: “No breakups!
Another frequent query is “Should we break up Amazon Apple Facebook and Google?”.
We are now a global economy . So, if we break up Amazon, Apple, Facebook, or Google because of their impact on US competitors, we handicap our US economy. China is already grabbing from the US the “largest home market” advantage, allowing them to subsidize pricing globally.
When I was reading we ran into the query “Should we break up Facebook and Google to protect privacy?”.
“With respect to Facebook and Google, there are other issues relating to privacy that the antitrust laws do not get into, so if someone separately wants to say one of these companies has been privately misusing our data and we need to break them up to regulate them , then that’s a whole different discussion,” Mc, and careins said.
Should Amazon be broken up?
And as sales growth accelerates for Amazon, so does the speed at which competition is being destroyed. But Amazon is now moving aggressively into almost every industry. This company has to be/ will be broken up.
You may be wondering “Should amazon be broken up?”
LAS VEGAS (AP) — An Amazon executive said Wednesday that the online shopping giant isn’t too big and shouldn’t be broken up, but added that large companies deserve to be examined. Amazon and other big tech companies are facing scrutiny from government agencies that are looking into their business practices.
Some authors claimed like Elizabeth Warren, Donald Trump, and so many others, he is quite sure that Amazon needs to be broken up or otherwise somehow restrained . Because it is big. Never mind the reason it got big and grows bigger all the time: because it is serving the consumer with excellence.
In the end , arguably the most compelling reason to split up – and the most meaningful end goal that can’t be achieved in another way – is to avoid government regulation. On the other hand, Amazon shareholders should want to do what’s best for the stock, and the more powerful Amazon is, the better.
It will break itself eventually as long as it doesn’t receive special government protection . I have to admit that Amazon has shocked me so far. How a company that does not make a profit has been able to last this long defies my usual business analysis.
Another thing we wondered was; what happens to Amazon if it breaks up?
“ As for Amazon, the company owns Whole Foods, has its own video streaming service, music streaming service, and a widely used cloud computing platform, Amazon Web Services. If it’s broken up, Amazon could have to give up these separate entities and go back to its original form as a marketplace, as opposed to selling its own products.
Another frequent query is “Should Amazon split itself in two?”.
Pro No. 1: A split decreases the risk of regulatory scrutiny . The note’s primary argument is that if Amazon splits itself in two, the company could dramatically reduce its chances of facing regulatory scrutiny from an overzealous Trump White House.
Should Amazon take over Apple?
Amazon appears to be safe , at least for now, because its business requires huge warehouses, a massive supply chain and a top-notch distribution network staffed by a large workforce. In a similar manner, a new company would find it next to impossible to match Apple’s image, design, production and marketing.
The next thing we asked ourselves was, does Amazon own the Apple marketplace?
They don’t own the marketplace , just ask Samsung, LG, HTC, Google, Microsoft, the list of their competitors goes on. Of all the tech I own (its a lot more than average) I have only 1 apple device. Arguably, Amazon may be the only one of the four that may be vulnerable.
Why is Amazon such a big deal?
It’s become something of an “everything company” that touches nearly every corner of our lives and the economy. That growing reach — and, in some cases, dominance — has increasingly made Amazon, like its Big Tech peers, a target for regulators and lawmakers.
T he European commission has opened an antitrust investigation of Amazon, on the grounds that the company has breached EU antitrust rules against distorting competition in online retail markets.
Could Amazon be forced to choose one business model?
In a statement after the bills were announced, Amazon’s vice president of public policy, Brian Huseman, suggested that if forced to choose one business model, the company could stop supporting independent, third-party sellers , a move it positioned as a potential detriment to the economy.
