Don’t Break Up Google, The Information Readers Say

A majority of respondents to our most recent survey don't think a breakup is realistic and a plurality believe it would hurt rather than help the broader tech industry

Google should not be forced to sell or spin off parts of its business, even though a judge found the company has violated antitrust laws, most respondents to a survey by The Information said.

A majority of survey respondents also said they don’t think breaking up Google is realistic and a plurality said it would hurt rather than help the broader tech industry. The survey elicited 983 responses between Thursday and Monday.
