What commenters say

• Google should be broken up into separate companies to promote competition and reduce its monopoly power.
• Separating ads from search and other services is not enough to address the issues with digital advertising.
• A horizontal split of Google's businesses, where each resulting company owns a percentage of the current business, could be a viable solution.
• Banning digital advertising or restricting its use could be a more effective way to promote competition and protect user privacy.
• Breaking up Google would not necessarily address the underlying issues with digital advertising and could have unintended consequences.
• The conflict of interest between ads and other Google services is a major issue that needs to be addressed.
• Some argue that monopolies are not inherently bad and can be beneficial if they do not harm competition or unrelated markets.
• Others believe that breaking up Google is not a viable solution and that regulating its business practices could be a more effective approach.
