Google global market share: 92.47%
Google received federal money early on (in their infancy) because the NSA saw their potential and they were chosen as the winner. That is what gave them early on some of the money to help pull away form their competition. They were able to pay for massive hardware expansion which Altavista and others simply could not do. Free market, right? hahaha

Google is a monopoly, but because they are tied into the governments Intel Community, used in US government psyop campaigns, and give graciously back to the right politicians, don’t expect any real action to break them up.
It has already been proven that Google is directed by the Government
in their anti-free speech efforts.
In this case, the only question is Which Government?
This restriction is all the more interesting in light of an article by Rachel Marsden on Townhall yesterday describing M. Zemmour’s considerable appeal to French youth.
