Define monopoly, Google is the largest search engine, Amazon is the largest eretailer. Personally I don't think Google has a monopoly, as there are alternatives (a monopoly is supposed to be when their exist no competitors, not just when a business is so much better than everyone else that people choose to use them). Plus, switching search engines takes literally seconds.
Amazon used to only push other's products, now they push their own as well, often making use of their front page to do so. It's the same, if not worse, than what Google is doing.
- tripzilch 9y agoThe term "market domination" is actually the one under consideration with this ruling. Previous time this happening with Microsoft, they just happened to also be a monopoly. "Market domination" is in fact defined in the article (and in more specific detail if you follow the links there).
- ApolloFortyNine 9y agoI believe I said monopoly, not market domination. Thanks though.
