Agreed, and we need the data equivalent of antitrust.
- spullara 10y agoA company like Google who has a virtual monopoly on search queries can make decisions like removing referrers to downstream sites where they send users thus depriving everyone but Google access to the actual keywords. While doing this that obviously benefits Google greatly, they can also claim it benefits the user as well since their query keywords aren't being shared with a 3rd party. It is complicated to think about monopoly vs privacy in this context.
