It's good to call for transparency. Google has an effective monopoly on search so it's not just about me as an individual switching to ddg or something. Google can make and break media properties based on what are currently hidden and seemingly editorialized levers.
I'm not a fan of regulation but as a consumer I'm absolutely within my rights to ask Google tough questions.
- beams_of_light 8y agoGoogle does not have an effective monopoly on search, and they've been very transparent about how you receive news on news.google.com.
- malvosenior 8y ago> Google does not have an effective monopoly on search That is clearly false.
- root_axis 8y agoWhat does it mean to have a monopoly on a product that costs nothing? Saying google has a monopoly on search is akin to saying that Tolkien has a monopoly on high fantasy novels; just because it's the most popular on the market doesn't mean its your only option, and the same is true of search engines.
