Google isn't a monopoly in search (bing,duckduckgo), mail (many), advertising (facebook), mobile (apple). It has substantial competitors.
Facebook on the other hand, I suppose it does have competitors in Snapchat and similar.
- pessimizer 11y agoDuckduckgo's results are derivative of other search engines. Bing is a product of a particular Microsoft species that waits in the wings for year after year, losing money hand over fist, hoping that the industry leader will trip and fall on its face one day. Like the Xbox. For some reason, the West has let Google become its only search engine. Its only real competitors are Russian and Chinese. And Facebook isn't an advertising competitor, no matter how the revenue compares. Facebook advertises on its own website. It just happens to have a big website with finely sliced users.
