- Nasrudith 4y agoSo Yahoo! search remains a rival of Google? The assumption of innovation not changing market share doesn't seem to hold. Hell, Bing is known in some circles as a bettet search engine for porn only. Utility designation is a common but vapid "solution" that doesn't define what relevant restrictions would be placed, let alone how it would help. It can mean anything from trying price fixing for ad revenues to effectively spam and censorship bureaus. Or worse - demanding that their prioritization engine not prioritize! A plan so bad it sounds like a blind copy from the concept of it applying to ISPs, a domain where it would make actual sense.

I honestly fail to see how that is a compelling argument for why search engines should be as private as they are now. >Utility designation is a common but vapid "solution" that doesn't define what relevant restrictions would be placed, let alone how it would help Fundamentally it would be about giving a fair shoot to competition to actually innovate on things that matter, by opening + standardizing the search tech that has become de facto standard and it's more like we replace x86_64 with ARM64 before we see a new search engine replace Google.
