Why not apply the existing rules against monopolies and anti competitive actions, what changed since Microsoft almost was broken up?
IMO is not competitive to have Google with it's advertising money get involved in 10 or more different activities and killing the companies that were or would have appeared there just because they have money and can run without profit.
- nerfhammer 9y agoBecause it's not actually a monopoly. Monopoly means no competition. "Monopoly" just means "big" now apparently.
- simion314 9y agoAre you sure Google is not a monopoly in search, even if is not a monopoly there are still rules on abusing a dominant position in one market. Microsoft abused the OS dominance to push a web browser, Google is doing similar things now but for some reasons the US government closes it's eyes on it. (ex I should not see on a Google search results links to download Chrome, or to google products, or Google competitor disappearing from first page results)
