    You wrote all this but you failed to mention that 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. The competitors need to sue.

      Fair point you raise. Competitors can certainly sue where warranted.

      And we can certainly start public outcry. It will be a difficult, uphill battle for those that understand the implications of this motive.

        Sorry. I keep failing at tracking where each conversation’s happening. Here are the complaint websites

        https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/report-antitrust-violation (Lina Khan’s the most vigorous fighter I’ve seen on these grounds in my lifetime).

        https://www.justice.gov/atr/citizen-complaint-center

        https://competition-policy.ec.europa.eu/antitrust/procedures/complaints_en

        We’re having a discussion about it here: https://old.lemmy.world/post/2060683

        Those complaint websites are tailored to the customers who suffer from the decline in competition. We are suffering from Google using its market position to kill our user experience and options. As I understand, it’s classic monopoly abuse.

        In the 20th century, the US broke up the Hollywood model where companies owned both the studios and the theaters (how you have 20th century Fox (or just 20th century now) and Fox theaters). Google owning 75% online advertising and 75% of web browser share is a clear conflict of interest and you can see it from how they’re pushing things like Manifest V3 via their browser (especially when you consider how Chrome is the default browser on their phones), now that it’s the only browser that developers are increasingly starting to support.

        If you follow that model, one thing that’s going to have to be done is to have Chrome/Chromium browser development be broken away from Google proper. Google can’t fund the developers any longer.
