I find it funny how these prosecutors go after companies like google and facebook and end up with multi million dollar settlements and fines that never go to the people who were directly affected by these companies. Instead, a class action suit gets going and everyone affected gets a check for $11.99 and that’s being generous.
Thank you Professor Wolff. We might also read Shoshana Zuboff's "The Age Of Surveillance Capitalism". Google is the pioneer in mining personal online behavioral data and has a relationship with U.S. intelligence.
Ahh, now it makes more sense. Thats why they tackled this monopoly, the monopoly punished the bourgeoisie as it raised the prices of their advertisements.
Please keep us posted! 🤔we'll see what message the judge sends the public 😒 the message I'll get is Google is too big to fail 😳 especially if the fine is a slap on the hands 😬
on the one hand I think it actually makes sense to have monopolies and NOT to have hundreds of different companies competing with each other and all of these companies offering slightly different products and services creating a nightmare world of trying to decide what product is the best to buy or use.......but on the other hand I wonder how a monopoly can be given the incentive to continuously improve and innovate.

Monopolies don't necessarily depend on intellectual property laws. And Google in particular has often been up against intellectual property laws. I'm not defending those laws as we have them, which are extremely pro-corporate, but that's a different if somewhat related issue.

Interesting how this video taps into to the “cashless society” conversation. The big fintech companies make it sound like an inevitable to have ONLY card payment. Of course that isn’t cash. Cash is FREE to use, and the worse competitor you can have is one which comes free. Interesting as always Mr Wolff. Thank you.
The American people hear the head line, "google guilty of monopoly", and then they go 'ahh, good, problem solved'. The 'people' then fail to demand a consequence that matters and instead lament 'nothing ever happens to those corporate criminals'. If the 'people' don't 'demand' that this company's leaders actually be held accountable in a meaningful way, then the 'people' are at fault for their own problems. Seems they are getting a good amount of payback to a society who's people have forgotten they have a responsibility to hold the government accountable and it's a responsibility the people have neglected so keep that in mind in your own internal dialog with what is wrong with the country.
What about the fact it's nearly impossible to delete Facebook from your phone? automatically pre-installed but to delete it you have to delete about five or six different apps and they can still change the permission on your phone to reinstall it in the background. Wtf! It's amazing what a mobile phone has become it's amazing how much information they can r ape from you without you even knowing it. A great example of this is you used to be able to take the battery out of your phone now it's impossible and the reason that is, is because even when your phone is switched off, it is still tracking you.
Please clarify what price gouging is and how presidential candidate Kamala Harris's economic plan to freeze grocery store prices will not go far enough. Will her plan force retail grocery stores and commercial real estate to shift the cost of lower prices by cutting the cost of labor? Does her plan need more price freezes in all commodities, especially monopolies of produce, fuel, and meat production?
Government created monopolies tend much much more towards monopolies. Do you know how many intellectual property monopolies Google has and continues to be given by governments?

You had me at Google.
We had better search engines with dial-up. Monopoly means mediocrity.
that's an argument against socialism
Wtf are you on about? Things being better in the past is due to our system collapsing now.
@@kussemeinkont Logically, the fact that one stage of capitalism was better than another when it came to search engines isn't an argument either for or against socialism.
It’s not a curious case:
Fully abolish all types intellectual property laws.
Solved. And no problems like this ever again.
...and if only those damn "google" could search for what they're told as officiently and aaccurately as any average search engine from before 2000 did.
No, it won't find it.
It's become simple clickbait for the sake of clicking.
The more clicks the better.

Actually the default web browser that comes in all computers is Microsoft explorer.
Yes Microsoft won really but Chrome is the most popular browser 65% edge is about 6% and DuckDuckGo is hardly on the radar
This is about search engines not browsers.

*Importantly, where does the fine go? Will it make the victims whole, or does the Govt., just keep it!*
Why stop at google?
because it wont serve their bank accounts - they only are after the companies from which they can self deal
why stop at all? let's do this.
The American people hear the head line, "google guilty of monopoly", and then they go 'ahh, good, problem solved'.
