fossilesqueGoogle must sell Chrome to end search monopoly, justice department argues in court filing
PrivacyDingusto me, shaving Android off their business (suggested next step if this fails) would be way more impactful
ɯᴉuoʇuɐI’m worrying that whatever gets sold (Chrome or Android) might end up in the hands of someone even more scummy than Google.
AWittyUsernameIs there any company more scummy than Google?
I don’t know man. There’s a lot shittier business practices out there than paying to be the default search engine - which is laughably easy to change on any browser. Like marketplaces and services that pay to be exclusive sources of content and then use the fact that they’re the only source for most content to force extortionate deals on content creators and enshitify every aspect of the end user experience. Just to name one.
Did you know that paying to be default search engine isn’t the only business practice that Google does.
Google has enshitified every single one of its products or deprecated it and then released an inferior replacement.
Is enshittification the scummiest thing you can think of? While other multinationals are paying for goon squads that kill people in other countries? While banks reorder daily transactions from largest to smallest so they can charge more overdraft fees, literally stealing from poor people? Even if enshittification is literally your biggest problem, you’d have to be living under a rock to think Google’s products are the most enshitified of all the garbage out there. You’ve never heard of anything from Meta? Amazon? Netflix? Microsoft?
