We cannot rely on millions of individual workers to take expensive stands on principle. And they shouldn't have to. It's an essential duty for lawmakers and regulators to design the rules of the marketplace in such a way that wealth flows to those who do genuine good for the populace, and to designate certain tools and practices as off-limits because they are incompatible with our society's core values. Google's actions here are a clear antitrust violation and should be blocked/punished. If our representatives don't do so, then they should be punished.
