BREAKING: Google ruled an illegal monopoly
Added 2024-08-06 21:24:16 +0000 UTCOn Monday a US federal judge ruled Google has violated antitrust laws, saying the organisation
is a monopolist, and it has acted as one to maintain its monopoly.
Google disputes the ruling. Its president of global affairs, Kent Walker, said “this decision recognises that Google offers the best search engine, but concludes that we shouldn’t be allowed to make it easily available”.
Nevertheless, the landmark decision has shaken the foundation of Google’s business, its search engine. For well over a decade, Google has been the dominant search engine in the market. The tech giant reportedly controls around 90% of the US online search market, leaving little room for competitors to make any claim.
Google has been able to maintain this dominance through exclusive contracts with companies such as Apple and Samsung, which enable Google to be the default search engine on their platforms.

There is no choice but yet they will take your child from you if you do not put your kid in school. Forced indoctrination
