Reducing the effectiveness of search does almost nobody any good. If the concern is so great, pool some resources and make an equivalent government sponsored search engine. Which probably no one will use because as much as they mistrust Google, they likely trust their government even less.
- j_jochem 12y agoI think the idea here is to split off the search business from Google's other business areas to prevent those from abusing the data collected by Search. Not saying this is a good idea, but the distinction is important.

- progress 12y agoWhat Google is doing so far is actually REDUCING the quality of the overall search, by promoting their own services unfairly more than the competition. So no, letting them into a monopoly position harms the society more.
