This is true, and a lot of Google's practices are monopolistic/hegemonic.
However banning/taxing links is not the answer.

I think I would ban search engines from doing other things, ban or regulate targetted advertising, require social networks to be interoperable, and ban social networks from owning other social networks (so Facebook would have to sell off Instagram).
- kuschku 8y agoThat’s an idea I can agree with, and that Vestager visibly sympathizes with, but that’d mean breaking apart Google, and as result would anger a lot of people.
