They should be limited due to how corrupt the companies are, especially when it comes to spying and stealing/selling people's information. Those companies do almost nothing to stop cybercrime.

 @9DXR7GGGreensanswered…3yrs3Y

No, but they should be taxed as a conglomerate and as individual subsidiaries

 @9JZJKVYFamily Firstanswered…2yrs2Y

I don't think it is within our governments power to do that. But should they be divided into smaller companies? Yes.

 @94DR49QLaboranswered…4yrs4Y

No, but the government should have more power over what each platform does in it's country

 @93R3M8Yanswered…4yrs4Y

Govt doesn’t have the capacity since they are overseas businesses

 @9343Y3Ranswered…4yrs4Y

No. The Australian Government has no role in the governance of foreign multinationals

 @9343V8WGreensanswered…4yrs4Y

No, so far as the company behaves with good practise and otherwise follows all laws. Specifically including not forming a monopoly.

 @932MZ4Zanswered…4yrs4Y

Yes, plus they should be made to stop abrogating their security costs & responsibilities onto their client base & face stiff penalties for not being proactive enough

 @92ZBH5WOne Nationanswered…4yrs4Y

Maybe. But need to control the way they are silencing conservative voices.

 @92SX6NVanswered…4yrs4Y

Moot point, the companies are far more powerful than our tiny country. It can’t be done.

 @92RB3KJanswered…4yrs4Y

Yes for Facebook. It has consistently put profit above anything else.

 @92NYK74answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but this is not something the Australian Government can do??!

 @924R5GXGreensanswered…4yrs4Y

Yes, companies that offer services to Australians should be taxed proportionally in Australia.

 @922ZVDRIndependentanswered…4yrs4Y

No, Let the free market do it's job and allow competition to break these monopolies.

 @8ZRJWJXGreensanswered…4yrs4Y

I love the optimism, but like the South Australian (or Australian) government could achieve this 🙄

 @8ZPC7K4Greensanswered…4yrs4Y

These companies should be dealt with in the countries where they are registered. Their reach, however, should be overseen by the Australian government.

 @8ZLS3SNGreensanswered…4yrs4Y

It is a multibillion corporation. You cannot seperate from the source. In an ideal world; yes, it would be excellent.

 @8ZFK992Greensanswered…4yrs4Y

 @8TLHSVKIndependentanswered…5yrs5Y

No, but the individuals whose data they collect should be able to authorise who they can sell it to and receive a cut of any such sale.

 @927K9GTanswered…4yrs4Y

No, the country where the business is located should regulate them. If Australia wants to combat them, they should fund Australian based competition.

 @8DQRT96answered…6yrs6Y

Business that conducts business in Australia needs to pay tax in Australia.

 @8FPJML8answered…6yrs6Y

No but tax them as they do not contribute to our national economy.
