"A protection racket is a scheme whereby a group provides protection to businesses or other groups through violence "

Where is the violence in Google's behavior ? They offer a private service, and their good spaces are of high values that companies are ready to pay for to maintain their own market dominance.

If we should break up Google, then we should also breakup Basecamp (company behind the original author's tweet)
