Re:EU competition chief holds threat of breaking up Google by takeda on Monday March 26, 2018 @04:11PM (#16682075)
I say that blocking google in EU would actually be a good thing for a consumer. It would force people to try out alternatives (which do exist).

Google currently has a monopoly for search, email, maps (and many other services which I care less about) it is crazy that we allowed it to happen.

It's not too far fetch that Google pretty much owns the internet. If Google blocks you or your company you might as well not exist.

There never should be a single entity that has so much power.

If the EU forced Google to breakup search, email, and maps, (and assuming they're monopolies now) why wouldn't those continue to be monopolies?
