In light of articles all over Lemmy about Google pushing ManifestV3 onto Chrome and the majority of web users, isn't that an antitrust violation? - Lemmy.world

lemmy.world

So as I understand it, Google’s using it’s monopoly market position to force web “standards” unilaterally (without an independent/conglomerate web specification standards where Google is only one of many voices) that will disadvantage its competitors and force people to leave its competitors. I’m not a lawyer, and I’m a fledgling tech guy, but this sounds like abuse of a monopoly. Google which serves 75% of the world’s ads and has 75% of the browser market share seems to want to use its market power to annihilate people’s privacy and control over their web experience. So we can file a complaint with FTC led by Lina Khan who has been the biggest warrior against abuse by big tech in the US. https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/report-antitrust-violation [https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/report-antitrust-violation] We can also file a complaint with the DOJ: https://www.justice.gov/atr/citizen-complaint-center [https://www.justice.gov/atr/citizen-complaint-center] And there have to be EU, UK, Indian, Chinese, and Japanese organizations that we can file antitrust complaints to.
