U.S. Accuses Google of Illegally Protecting Monopoly

Announcing Google today does not preclude others from being announced later. Cases take time.

Also, based on the story I saw the Google one is pretty straight forward. The deals they have made to force their search onto things like the iPhone (with Apple) and Android (with the carriers/manufacturers) is the issue.

Yeah, I feel like the case against Google is easy. So many different ways to go after them.

For Apple, Amazon, and Facebook, I think similar accusations can be made, but it's not as "shooting fish in a barrel" easy as Google.

Considering we haven’t had effective anti-trust for some time... I agree I think focusing on one and seeing where the modern limits are is a better move than a shotgun to anyone you feel may have skirted a fair system.

Honest question, what is anti-competitive about the iPhone deal?

I don't know, but that's what one of the articles I read said the government was looking into.
