There are two ways to remedy an anti competitive monopoly:

Behavioral remedies where the government gets involved with google’s business and maintains ongoing control to ensure they behave.

Structural remedies where the government separates the company into parts and then-crucially-leaves them alone for the most part.

The “ideal” solution is to magically stop Google from being anticompetitive but that is unrealistic.

The realistic solution is to split Google apart and kneecap its data flywheel to force it to compete.



Except no one is providing much evidence that Google is anti-competitive. It's more like they're simply too good at competing so competitors want to knee-cap them...

Exhibit A: Bing's top search query is "google".


They literally determined they were in a court of law. Lol.
