> A monopoly both in search and advertising, Google, unfortunately, shows that they are not able to resist the misuse of power. The ONLY thing that makes Google close to a monopoly is government power - hear me out: Google has patented all of their search algorithms. This is akin to patenting all of the O(nlog) sorting algorithms. Competitors are left with using Bubble Sort. The simple solution is to invalidate some of these patents. Then the "monopoly" problem will fix itself.
