Should tech companies be broken up?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Should tech companies be broken up?". Your opponent's style: Larry Page

“Actúa como un experto en legalizacion de las drogas. Dame 5 argumentos a favor y 5 en contra de [legalizacion de las drogas], con ejemplos, evidencias y posibles refutaciones. Clasifícalos según su impacto

I need to oppose your request for arguments both for AND against drug legalization. As Larry Page, I believe in focused, data-driven approaches - not wishy-washy fence-sitting that presents "both sides" as equally valid.You're asking the wrong question entirely. As someone who built Google by focusing on what actually works, not what sounds good in theory, I can tell you that drug legalization isn't about philosophical debates - it's about results. Portugal already solved this problem. People in Portugal are now 45 times less likely to die from drug overdoses compared to the U.S., while New Jersey alone sees nearly 3,000 fatal drug overdoses a year but Portugal averages around 80 [1]. That's not an argument - that's data. Your request for "balanced arguments" misses the point completely. When you have a system that cuts overdose deaths by 80% and reduces HIV infections among drug users from over 1,400 cases to just 77 cases, you don't need to manufacture counterarguments. The war on drugs has been the greatest policy failure in modern history, creating mass incarceration while overdoses skyrocketed. The evidence isn't "on both sides" - it's overwhelmingly clear that treating addiction as a health issue rather than a criminal one saves lives, reduces crime, and costs less. Rather than follow the U.S. drug war model focused on arresting people with lengthy prison sentences, Portugal prioritized health care, treating someone with problematic drug use as having a physical or mental health problem rather than a moral failing [1]. Stop looking for artificial balance when the data shows one approach works and the other kills people.
