It is. Google hasn’t killed anyone so far that disagrees with them. Plenty of governments does.

  No, it’s not. We didn’t give Microsoft a free pass when they did monopolistic moves. Google should not be treated differently.

    You're moving the goalposts. The comment above yours says (and quite rightly) that Google does not have the power of a government and shouldn't be considered as such. And your response is "but Microsoft!".

      Thanks for your answer. Sorry, it was not intentional. I'll try to explain myself better. In today's world, some of the corporations size and influence allows them to behave the way the want and, I see this as problematic. Google may not be killing anyone who disagrees with them and, they can freely decide where to conduct business. I have no problem with these points. However, I see Google's behavior as problematic. Google's response dşffers from country to country. They have a similar problem in EU (more specifically European Economic Area) and, they have implemented a selection screen similar to Microsoft's browser & search engine selection screen. Turkey might not be in EU but, as a country it has every right to level the playing field for the companies (in this case Yandex and Google) in order to increase the competition. The but Microsoft! response is coming from the change of tone in response to this issue. When Microsoft became the monopoly and pushed Sun Microsystems and other browsers around, the unanimous vote was to divide or somewhat stop them. When Google does a similar thing, response changes with respect to country which Google has a dispute. I find this wrong. P.S.: I'm a bit tired and English is not my native language. If I messed the writing, please point it out. I'll try to clarify.
