It's not illegal to use dominance in one market to enter another. That's called good business.
Antitrust requires monopoly, which google does not have. There are many competitive and successful ad networks and search engines, and there is no lock in to the search product.
- nikcub 15y agoI don't agree with the entire concept of anti-trust, let alone support any case against Google - but I can see it happening
- chopsueyar 15y agoYeah, Standard Oil and U.S. Steel were pretty awesome. Without robber-barons, we would have a dearth of philanthropists.
- MaysonL 15y agoBullshit. Yes, some of the robber-barons were and are philanthropists. But robbing to give it away is not much more moral than robbing to spend it yourself or give it to your heirs. Both are still theft. For examples of modern non-robber philanthropists, see H & P, Buffet, et al.
