Monopoly.
First Google came for the payment app/website,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't doing that.
Then Google came for the file sharing app/website,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't doing that.
Then Google came for the social app/website,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't doing that.
Then Google came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me.
- riffic 15y agoHorrible analogy; this is hardly wholesale slaughter of human beings.
- pessimist 15y agoMaybe I'm foolish for responding to a troll but I dont understand why Google is being considered a monopoly? Its not even a bit-player yet in payments, file sharing or social. It has high (~2/3) but not not monopoly share of search in the US, and higher ~80% share of search ads. Compared to the monopolistic positions held by Microsoft, Apple (itunes) and Facebook, hardly seems unusual.
