Thank God! It's time to control this unethical and ruthless internet-suppressing evil corporation. Google took over the internet and it thinks it is theirs. Google took over the search. Google took over advertising, a real currency of the internet. And they believe that this currency belongs to them. Google hampers creation and creators on the internet. Google is a world wide surveillance machine. Google controls too much. It's time to break this evil behemoth.

And now let's listen to the Google fans and apologists about how everything is just one click away...

If true, this will be a landmark case and should scare FB and Amazon as well. Personally, I think this is a good thing and it's past time for the government to at least set some boundaries, but there's no telling how it will play out with the current administration and amount of lobbying dollars flying around.

I have news for you, most corporations are unethical because they are not people they do not care for ethics they are literally money making machines and Google is great at making money.

I'm not a Google fan and welcome this investigation but you need perspective.
