  1. This is legitimately the dumbest thing, I'm all for the DOJ putting the thumb down on companies.
    But Google is a search engine with an incredibly refined product. And legit is everyone's choice. Not a monopoly. There is not good competition. Why don't we focus on Amazon or Tesla.
    Or so many gasoline companies and real-estate conglomerates that are buying whole neighborhoods and jacking up the prices in the area?

  2. The Government needs fight other issues. They're jealous! Period! Google is giving the people too much power and they want to " halt " that power. I believe Google, not Our " so-called" Government. Too much impeding into things that empower people and that's what " the Government" wants, not anything else. I'm sure of it.

  3. gurgle is a garbage search engine. Its search feature used to be good but has been thoroughly corrupted by popular garbage which prevents you from finding what you're looking for. It's also a blatant conflict of interest for Gurgle to own YooBoob.

  4. anything about you, is of criminal and evil acts, every company, every person, every word, google came to be in every way any of you did.

  5. Google has Too much power …. just my opinion..😊

  6. News/Media Alliance org › …
    Economic Liberties Event: Anti-Monopoly Summit
    Apr 13, 2023 — This Summit will bring together the growing anti-monopoly … alongside bipartisan leadership in Congress and President Biden's

  7. This company is run by POS…break them up

  8. Google the monopoly is guilty

  9. So in the first 18 seconds of this on the front page you see a roll of data or information or conversation then you see a blocked wall and then you see all the names and families of all the deaths not showing up that y'all covered the wrong rotation of corporations to strategize against having the correct management or work structure in a correct places to play in third parties to change out the association of our datas information intelligence research and list I reckon hipa should have been on the board or in front of the board of technology or component builders or software builders code structures

  10. Yay! The government messing things up again. Can you imagine how mad you'd be if Bing or Yahoo was the search engine on your phone?

  11. We can't uninstall google related stuff; that's unfair to users

  12. Who will punish the government for having a monopoly on violence against peaceful people?

  13. Wish they would also take on Apple, bs eco friendly changes to charge more money when they can contribute more to reduce ewaste.

  14. Stop regulating!!! It'll make the stocks go down!

  15. Let me use my google phone to call my google boss that I'll be late to google work because I ordered google delivery.
    Next week my google son will be born in a google hospital with the help of google nurses.

  16. I remember when Yahoo was the top website and MySpace was the top social media.

  17. Even if they loose they’ll keep going. Look at microshaft, got caught up in a monopoly lawsuit, lost and is still the only real option for pc’s. Someone could make a serious mint if they came up with a better less full of crap operating system.

  18. Looks like the lawsuit against Microsoft decades ago.
