  This is the kind of knee-jerk reaction that causes lawsuits to fail. There's always nuance, and if you're not willing to be detailed, dont be surprised when things dont go your way.

    That's the nuanced compromise. What should really happen is statutorily banning accepting remuneration for displaying or delivering third-party advertisement.

      > What should really happen is statutorily banning accepting remuneration for displaying or delivering third-party advertisement For Google, or for everyone? Like Apple shouldnt be allowed by get money for Ads on AppStore?

        Everyone. It wouldn't be legal to make the law only apply to Google in any case.

          I see. So you're saying advertisement as a practice should be abolished in the US? That seems .. not ideal outcome? If you have a company/product/service, how would you attract customers?
