Amazon.com and Google are Tech/Internet giants and when there have been upstarts that could pose some competition they have made moves to absorb them or make them irrelevent due to competition to overshadow them.  At no time in the past has there been such a grand scale of a company that is not only worldwide but is in so many households effecting so many families and individuals.  Before various industries were tagged by the Government as being too big and being monopolies such as certain Railroads, Oil Industries, and most recently AT&T with Telecommunications and the Baby Bells but even those paled in comparison to say Google and Amazon.com.  Also none of them had the Nationwide, even worldwide, impact on virtually every family as Google and on various workers as Amazon.com.  

Amazon.com has almost certainly been responsible for the decimation of brick and mortar storefronts across the nation and the loss of countless of sales jobs of people in the stores affected by the huge expansion of Amazon.com.  Yet with everything that has happened it's not a certain thing that Google and Amazon.com as well as other Internet giants can be tamed or even handled by the Government or even should they?  Walmart made moves from the 1970's on that decimated and crushed K-Mart into obscurity and no one in the 1960's could have imagined that but now even WalMart is suffering greatly trying to compete against Amazon.com not to mention individual bookstores such as Books a Million or those that have already fallen due to inability to compete.

It possibly could be argued that ebay or one of the Chinese giant internet sellers is the only real competition to amazon.com but one thing is for sure and that is that the Government is and was Ill equipped to deal with these giant internet companies.  What happens now will determine if money can steer the Government and buy their way out of prosecution or regulation.  

Be as the Bereans ( Acts 17:11 )
