this may be a stupid question, but what does the link have to do with "Google and Competition"?

This is a classic "made for regulators" set of pages. The title lets regulators know that it's for them, but the content has to explain Google's business as simply and positively as possible. You'll also notice that when you click through each of the pages, almost every criticism that could be lobbed at Google by a 3rd party is countered in some way.

Also note that the page came about mid-2011, around the same time when Microsoft was beating their "Google is a monopoly" drum.

Completely off topic, but why can't I keep the page zoomed out far enough to view the entire width of a paragraph? I'm on my iPhone; is Google doing something screwy to fuck with iOS users?

Usually these issues are due more to browser settings...

Safari on iOS doesn't have many settings... The page is just broken.

I mean Safari might be rendering it wrong by default. The fact there are few settings is a limitation which may or may not impact the rendering...

Either way I doubt it's any sort of ploy to fuck with iOS users...
