Senator Elizabeth Warren caused a stir when she presented a plan to split up some of the world’s largest technology companies. But the proposal is getting a lukewarm response near the tech heartland of Silicon Valley.
Warren, who’s seeking the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, called last week for the breakup of Alphabet Inc.’s Google, Amazon.com Inc. and Facebook Inc. because of alleged monopolistic practices. At a rally for fellow Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang in San Francisco Friday night, some voters said they thought Warren is going too far.
