Consumers are encouraging them to buy more, such as DC in order to increase the quality of the product to consumers. How do you see consumers harmed by disneys dominance? Simply being dominant cant be cause for breakup on its own.

False.Hmmm... by definition this is a monopoly but the fact that they entered a browser space, dominated by others, with a compelling (free) product has me. It's other businesses being hurt by this. I, as a selfish consumer, am benefitting.

If you own too many of the moving parts of your industry you're too big. Too big to fail is actually real.
Amazon is too big to fail. They need to immediately be broken up along with Walmart.
You own the space, the products, and all of the logistics?

Unless the government requires google to put out an inferior product, Google is pretty much always going to be the #1 go to search engine. Didn’t google get into the game late? How is it their fault no other search engine could compete? They weren’t throttling the speed of other engines.
its not the consumers that are harmed at all, but businesses
how to be discovered on the internet is a power held by very few parties.
the problem with your belief imo is how you define a "consumer"
Outside of a fair search policy similar to what is happening in Europe, I don't see an issue with googles size.

...and the efficiency losses would set back technological advancement. Allowing companies to get big enough to launch satellites and connect the world is a good thing IMO.
depends on how much you value liberty
based on what I'm seeing now, the internet will ultimately result in lost liberty. Spearheaded by large data companies whom ultimately get controlled by governments
I disagree I think more of the citizenry is informed and engaged because of the internet and the tech produced by these companies.
We(imo) want to push pass scarcity towards a star trek like society... and shouldn't hamstring the companies helping to get us there(google, apple, FB, amazon).
Nah Google. Uses its 3 major platformsto harvest user data and then use that target data to become the world's largest advertiser.
There's really no way another US company can compete in that space... Especially if they have to pay their biggest competitor for access to that data.

Googles success has enabled Google to invest in breakthroughs in mapping, messaging, email, smartphone, and artificial intelligence technology.
Google stay blessing us...
You sound like the Microsoft haters back 2001 that had Gates in front of congress. How long did that Microsoft "monopoly" last?

Google is an advertisement company. That's their business. Comparing this to. Microsoft because they're both tech companies shows a bit of naivete
I'm comparing the "monopoly" rhetoric, and using Microsoft to illustrate how quickly the landscape can change. Could have used myspce or AOL as well, google could be overtook by an unforeseen competitor/technology.
Also how are consumers harmed?
