    That's what you yearn for the U.S., total control by FedCo.

    If you disagree with this practice, then I invite you to leave Capitalism and join me here in Social Democracy.
    How many suits for monopoly has Microsoft fought around the world? They are sued because they are manipulating and distorting capitalism That is not what happens. Why do you think Teddy came up with Trust busting? We are in theory anti-monopoly. That does not mean you have 100 percent control of the industry. It means you have so much that you control it. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/monopoly.asp

    Not at all. I'm a big believer in states' rights.

    Have you heard of the "that's not real Communism" meme? When you say that is not what happens under Capitalism, it's the same thing. Maybe in theory it doesn't happen under Capitalism, but in practice it does all the time. Look at your own link: "Monopolies can be considered an extreme result of free-market capitalism in that absent any restriction or restraints, a single company or group becomes large enough to own all or nearly all of the market (goods, supplies, commodities, infrastructure, and assets) for a particular type of product or service."

    Anyway, as I said, Google does not have full or even near full control of the market. What's really happening here is that Conservatives don't like that Google is the biggest company in its field. They want free market competition until they feel it's hurting them.
