DOJ's antitrust lawsuit rests on the paternalistic theory that Google's search dominance must be bad – even though consumers overwhelmingly prefer it.

    It’s the definition of anti-competitive practices; not of a monopoly. They aren’t the only search engine to exist. They don’t have exclusive control of the market. That’s why they resort to anti-competitive practices in the first place.

      Not saying your reply is wrong, but the FTC does define monopolistic practices differently for the purposes of antitrust cases.
