US to argue Google abused power to monopolize internet search as antitrust trial begins::US makes case Google leveraged power and wealth to strangle competition, spending billions on deals with Apple and Samsung
If I was to guess I’d say it’s the only way they can do anything meaningful. If the goal is to curb google’s monopoly on the internet it would be neat to break it down and apparently search was a case that can be credibly pursued on antitrust grounds. Web integroty hasn’t yet reached its intended scope, even if everyone with minimal knowledge know where it’s going, “everyone sees the writing on the wall” is not a valid ground for legal persecution.
