Alright, hear me out: we split up Alphabet. Ads and search can be one company, since those two are always going to be related, while Chrome, Android, and the hardware division become the other company. This should help reduce Google's current incentive for privacy invasion.
No. You have got to split search and ads. Otherwise the web search is going to disappear completely and replaced by social media and ai. It’s for Google s own good.
What's going to pay for the search part, then?
