Google has violated US antitrust law with its search business, a federal judge ruled Monday, handing the tech giant a staggering court defeat with the potential to reshape how millions of Americans get information online and to upend decades of dominance.

    Donnie just said he is going to shut down Google. Is someone feeding Donnie insider info on ongoing litigations? 🤔

    Coming from an entrepreneurial background, I tend to lean towards the advantages of allowing high economic growth incentives for the people who invent or improve on things in the world. I think this is the best incentive structure ever conceived for promoting advancements.

    But more and more I realize that as a society we need stronger antitrust controls to keep the behemoths from becoming modern day fiefdoms.

    If a company corners a market, it should be pushed into divesting so that it doesn’t become a black hole and vacuum up everything around it, which inevitably leads to bad outcomes.

    This kind of a policy could serve to reboot the investors so they have to go back and invest in something new or competitive again, rather than horde it.
