Google competes for user's attention and advertising dollars. It seems pretty straightforward to say that prohibiting competitors from operating is an anticompetitive action.
- bandyaboot 4y agoIt’s a tricky situation. I think it’s appropriate for the government to intervene if Google bans a competitor’s app for anti-competitive reasons. But I also think Google should not be forced to facilitate distribution of content on its property that it believes to be harmful simply because that distribution is being done by a competitor.

- SV_BubbleTime 4y agoWhen you are Google, I think you should be held to a ”no, you can’t create the world as you see fit” binder. Because at this size “a competitor” isn’t really a thing.
