It is the second major case Google has lost in a year, after it was found to have a monopoly on online search.

    This is why we have anti-trust laws. Because we are supposed to break up trusts long before get anywhere near becoming a monopoly. The time to break up Google/Alphabet and every company like them was well over a decade ago.

    Alright, hear me out: we split up Alphabet. Ads and search can be one company, since those two are always going to be related, while Chrome, Android, and the hardware division become the other company. This should help reduce Google’s current incentive for privacy invasion.

      No. You have got to split search and ads. Otherwise the web search is going to disappear completely and replaced by social media and ai. It’s for Google s own good.
