    Oh wow. You really just don’t know do you? They have to go to court to break up Apple or Google and prove a case. And this isn’t a principal on a power trip. You think it’s a button press and you call me naive? Jesus wept.

      They have to go to court because the western government itself has checks and balances, as I previously stated.

      It’s entirely within congress’s authority to change the law to make it the press of a button. It’s not a matter of “whether or not they have the power.” It’s where or not they allow themselves to exercise the power.

      China doesn’t have all these roadblocks, especially in the Xi error; it’s much closer to an outright dictatorship than it’s been in many years.

        Ah yes that bit in the Constitution about due process is just for show. Well I’m sure the police agree with you. You’d have a point, if we were having this discussion in China.

              I give up, you’re unreachable.

              Yes, cite exactly what I said happens and ignore literally everything I’m saying once again … because “governments are subservient to corporations” and China is a benevolent government no worse than the US except when it doesn’t suit your argument.

              So sick of CCP shills.

                    If the US Govt decides to break up Apple or Google, they are no longer whole; that’s the end of it.

                    There you go.
