Google owns or nearly owns: phone, search, email, maps, web video, banners, working:desktop, cars, fiber, social, chat, vidchat.
What don't they own? How is this centralization healthy?
If you let your company reach 90 percent monopoly, and the entire world uses you every day, and the entire world relies on you...You are a utility.
Google's monopoly has lead to censorship in youtube, no customer service for any of their products unless maybe you pay 100k a year, maybe someone will answer the phone.
Through adwords they take a percent of all web commerce and make sure to mix up the results so you have a reason to pay. The only place you can get traffic that isn't them is amazon, and that's jumping from the pan into the fire.
Inb4: Government is worse, whole world doesn't have net, better them than 4 evil corps, stick with devil we know, etc.
