In other news: grass is green and the sky is blue

[bartsimp]

Please more monopoly laws and political lobbying laws

[integratedairsolutionsllc.]

As a Small Business it has become unaffordable to market on the Platform. It is such a huge pass on cost to the consumer.

[the_big_dog]

Wow, someone figured out that Google owns the whole market? Finally.

[MrBakedDaily]

Why can't they do this to Blackrock vanguard etc?

[Jmoneyjc]

Ridiculous. Since 25 years ago. They bought probably thousands of companies since then.

THIS IS THE BEST NEWS IVE HEARD IN YEARS

[crapton]

There needs to a meme of a skeleton waiting on this revelation we all knew about many years ago.

[saiyanc]

CEO Alphabet must be thinking, “Wtf did I buy- I mean “support” him for????”

[ame]

Don't even mention YOUTUBE!!! When a lawsuit comes out against YouTube i want to be one of the 1st ones to sign up!!!! They became puppets to these monsters!!!!

Visa, Mastercard, apple, Google, meta, all of them are monopolies in their sector but only the last two seem to loose the trials. Governments should either regulate fairly, or let the market be free. But freedom and fairness were never a choice

[DORAEMON-bwjk]

I use Chrome and YouTube everyday. Google is the best! I will always support Google! Screw all them haters!

In our ancient Chinese philosophy "You cut off my right arm, then learn how use my left afm. If cut off both my arms, then i learn how use my feet."

[books]

Absolutely. Every f-ing web site I go to prompts me to log into Google. For what purpose?

[bigbear]

Google and UTube target marketing ads are super intrusive and don't respect privacy. This was inevitable

[haiguyzimnew]

Does it even matter, they can just ignore the courts

[Timcorpion]

I absolutely agree that Google has a monopoly. And they don't even moderate their ad space, allowing very inappropriate ads to be shown in places frequented by younger individuals.

[ZackaryYoung-ig]

Google has too much control of online advertising. Executive management is responsible for the collapse of Alphabet stock price.

[danieldu]

Seriously, Desktop/Laptop computers are either Windows or Mac. People can choose to use Bing in window or Safari with Mac. Yahoo was a competitor but (you know what happens). Yes people do choose to use a superior product (may not be a perfect one).

[alexanderkarius]

I wonder if they break these up how would that work. Three new companies, how does the share break up work for this. 75% of a share for the ad company?
