Re:To Break Google’s Monopoly on Search, Make Its Index Public by BluffFace on Monday July 15, 2019 @01:45PM (#20443275)
First, Google doesn't have a monopoly on 'Search'. Competitors provide entirely comparable products and are not that far off from what Google provides. Other industries? Maybe. Search? Not in the slightest.

Second, that is a terrible idea. It would be a fucking crisis if Google's entire index was made public. I don't think the author understands the scope and nature of what Google indexes, as well as the protections Google has implemented.
