Using monopolistic power to influence legislative agendas.

It's time for big tech to be broken up.

Are they monopolistic in this case? It would be one thing if they influenced what you see, for example by removing some commercial newspapers. If they actually completely pull out with search business, we can use any other competitor. Pulling out business due to rules you don't like is the most opposite of monopolistic I can think of in this case.

Let's see if your legislature feels the same way.

Google is attempting to use it's weight to intimidate your government. I guess we will find out who has more pull, google or news corp.
