There’s also another bad side effect of Google. Google makes and gives away stuff for free and one of the reasons they do it is because they run a lean operation. They don’t provide any kind of support. Let’s say someone want to start a new company that provides all the same features of Google and provide solid support - there’s no way they can do it for free. Or even if it’s a reasonable price, people are going to pick free anyway. Except those of us who care. Just the fact Google and Facebook gives it away from free, in a sense, kills any possible paid service in the domains they operate. IMHO that qualifies as anti-competition and anti-trust. But the laws aren’t designed for this scenario at all.
