Big companies like Apple and Microsoft need to be regulated because they have gained a monopoly over the technology market. There needs to be a structure for all businesses so they can be on the same playing field. Currently there are more than 113 million iPhone users in the United States, accounting for about 47 percent of all smartphone users in the United States. With that many people owning the product this shows that Apple has a monopoly over the iPhone market. So, a way the government can regulate that is for the government to make the companies with a monopoly over markets like iPhones, Laptops, and CPUs to work with smaller companies and sell or promote their product.
Google has a monopoly over information on the internet. They have access to every single website and their information. Google has card numbers and social security numbers so; they have billions of identities in their hands. Having that many identities is a threat to people’s lives so if they get hacked millions of identities will be stolen and sold on the dark web. So, if Google partnered with other companies, it would allow them to share information and spread it out so if they get hacked it would be less identities and info stolen. These structures would lower data breaches and will lower the percentages of monopolies. I believe that these are the best ways to regulate the big companies like Apple, Microsoft, and Google so they do not take over the markets in the internet.
