The Antitrust Division proposed a comprehensive solution to Google's monopoly, including pushing Apple into search. Now comes a mini-trial where Judge Amit Mehta will decide what to do.
To get decent Google results now, I have to use the advanced search and set the timeframe to pre-2020. And then, much to my surprise, it works pretty well. The internet broke during COVID – the combination of everyone being shut in absorbing their social media echo chambers and LLMs and other generative content means you can’t find shit.
You can’t? Try using another search engines.
I’m not of the opinion google search is a good product. I understand that the law is being applied.
My position is that I’m surprised by the rule of the law, as you can apparently both be a monopoly, and have (better) products in the same field, easily available, simply because people don’t care to learn alternatives.
To me, the above is a people problem, not a technological or business (or even law) problem.

I understand that, to the law, it isn’t.
Do you work for Google? What the fuck.
No? What makes you think that?
