Why the Government Shouldn’t Break Up Google
By Andrea O’Sullivan
Has Google’s market dominance been a net negative for consumers and innovation—and should government antitrust regulators intervene?
Historically, Google’s algorithymic innovation fueled the profitable development of ad-based internet monetization and enabled Google to invest in breakthroughs in mapping, messaging, email, smartphone, and artificial intelligence technology. If something was hot in Silicon Valley, Google probably had something to do with it, or they soon acquired the firm that did.
What was once revolutionary eventually became common technology. Now, every day, hundreds of millions of satisfied internet users enjoy a handful of free Google services that improve their lives without even really thinking about them.
