Google is ....is rapidly becoming a world wide monopoly (and one all to willing to bend to the will of government despots in places like China).

Our government has always had the power to bust an illegal monopoly to protect the public. The most dangerous kind of monopoly is one that controls information.

In my mind, companies like Google (and some of the other big media companies) are exactly what anti-trust laws were designed to prevent.

Yeah, there's already speculation that Obama is talking tough on this issue but, when it comes right down to it, he'll never go after them because the head of Google is one of his biggest supporters (right up there with Bill Ayers in fact).
