Antitrust in US seems more and more of a joke for every new one.

First few literally broke apart big companies, then we have Microsoft with “just don’t make IE default browser” and now basically nothing for google, forget selling off chrome now, not even banned from making search deals, just “maybe in a few years perhaps reconsider the search deals? Totally non binding tho”

Google should be forced to spin off advertising.

This is the kind of knee-jerk reaction that causes lawsuits to fail. There's always nuance, and if you're not willing to be detailed, dont be surprised when things dont go your way.

[thfuran]

That's the nuanced compromise. What should really happen is statutorily banning accepting remuneration for displaying or delivering third-party advertisement.

For Google, or for everyone? Like Apple shouldnt be allowed by get money for Ads on AppStore?

[thfuran]

Everyone. It wouldn't be legal to make the law only apply to Google in any case.

I see. So you're saying advertisement as a practice should be abolished in the US? That seems .. not ideal outcome?

If you have a company/product/service, how would you attract customers?
