In 2018, “60 Minutes” delved into the immense power of Google, which had secured a staggering 90% market share in internet search and search advertising. The report, conducted by Steve Kroft, raised concerns about Google’s business practices, with some critics accusing the tech giant of engaging in anticompetitive behavior.
Fast forward to today, and those concerns appear to have been validated with a federal judge recently ruling that Google has indeed maintained an illegal monopoly over online search. This landmark antitrust decision underscores the real power that Google holds in shaping the digital landscape and raises important questions about the impact of such dominance on competition and innovation.

Google is not God. Remember that google
They think they own everyone's phone.
I don't use Google, only zDuck
Never used them, and they would come on my computer to tell me we notice you never use Google. Creepy
Left wing 💩
They don't have to change there algorithm it's already doing what they want it to do why would they change it to disadvantage themselves they're such crooks
Google are the REAL Edge Lords
Looking them you get pop ups of items you are no longer have the interest 😮😢
So they paid the government off to get their way. I don't trust them.
Big solar flare or EMP and Google will be powerless.
GÓOGLE watching me watching 60minutes. From YT 😂😂😂😂😂
*their
Google just lost a lawsuit that was damn newr the same exact lawsuit Apple had won months prior. Google gets fined by the government all the time and lose more than all the other members of FAANG. Google is not rigging the game, they lost again today, on August 6th, 2024. How can you be rigging the game and lose as much as they do. Apple is the game Google is playing it and losing more often than the other players. Whatever they do, just dont mess up my Google Timeline, my YouTube algorithms and my gmail!
Apple should be the one investigated.
Apple literally locks every competitor out from their products. Google at least invites competition on its platforms. Think about that
Google is a criminal organization. Facts.
Fast-forward to the power of AI in 2024.
Lol they make the internet work 😅 what about isps ????? What about tier 1 and 2 providers they absolutely do not make the internet work but they definitely manipulate getting to specific resources if you use their search engines of course.
Having the best technological acumen does not equate to monopoly. Google/alphabet did not stop any other individual or company/ competition to make an alternative search engine.
AI is the future; what is being told about google is old story.
Amazon does the same thing with searches. Businesses that pay a fee can have their items come up first.
You don't like it, make your own search engine. I'm gonna complain about this on their platform too! They own this comment box. oh, hey google!
They control my phone while I pay for the service. I do not need them.
They might know who I am but they are always telling me to prove I'm Taunya
They control my personal photos
And they continue to get worse
I heard they've been convicted as of now.
Government should fine google, then fund sustainable tech (or have google fund sustainable tech), and push google with incentives to help the growth of sustainable tech. Please just listen (sustainable tech), better science, this is how we don't do evil and save the world. Google is like a giant brain, but the brain needs to push all in for sustainable tech solutions.
