60 Minutes didn't reveal anything here a lot of us don't already know, there wasn't any hard-hitting journalism or incredible revelations. But given 60 Minutes reaches millions of people, it's probably massively raised awareness of these issues with a significant number of people who don't generally follow tech explicitly.

It honestly sounds like Yelp is just salty at the fact that their SEO marketing isn't as effective as it used to be because of Google's improvement to their search engine algorithms.

Also, it's laughable that of all companies, Yelp is the one complaining about Google.

Yelp is not that innocent either, their "practices" are just as questionable, if not more questionable, than Google's.

Not meant as an "and you ..." fallacy, nor to distract from article, but.

The shakedown to not have competitor's ads displayed on "Your Yelp Page" is fking deplorable. It could be a whole lot of fun to be Attorney General.

They still make those reports on single companies? How about the Fonds who have majoritys on whole industries. Google abuses its power but all of its revenue comes from one source. It's a brittle giant.

A pension fond can freeze whole industries innovation cycle to reduce that pesky market volatility.
