Snapchat - It’s a camera app, and it just makes sense to have the functionality in FB. Sorry, don’t care.

AppNexus - An ad manager? Not sorry, don’t care.

VEVO - Big Music. Not sorry, don’t care.

I’m keeping an open mind about wether Google and Facebook need to be broken up, but if these are the most egregious examples they could come up with, it’s going nowhere.

You might not care about the businesses themselves, but anticompetitive activity undermines the entire economy and depression and corruption thus ripple through our society. Most people believe either in economies controlled by democratic governments or free market economies. Almost no one believes in monopolistic capitalism (likely because it's a pretty bad idea).

Haha I'm sorry, are you in charge of breaking up Google and Facebook, or are you just someone commenting on news.ycombinator from a desk job?
