>First, they never had the monopoly control over information that Google has.

Google does not have a monopoly. Market dominance with accessible competition != monopoly. Having a consumer preferred or superior product != monopoly.

>Google has control over what content produced by individuals is seen by other individuals

And the television networks didn't? What you're describing is not different at all.

Yes it has dominance of the market, whether it uses monopolistic practices is irrelevant.

No, television spreads the product of companies, not the thought of individuals.
