Every definition includes the term “exclusive.” That means there is only one source for the goods or service. Google is hardly the only search engine.
For all intents and purposes, Google is a monopoly, especially when it paid search related. It’s not that hard to see down the road where the only 4 companies of size in their respective industry plus many others are Google, Facebook, Amazon and Netflix (or at least 3 out of these 4). The whole point of capitalism is to have small businesses constantly disrupting and breaking the large guy but our system today is designed to do just the opposite. When one of the FANGs (Amazon purchasing of WFM and announcing meal kits) can kill 75% of the market value of a fairly good size firm that was 2 days from going public (Blue Apron) in a matter of weeks, there is a big problem.
Do anti-trust regulations apply only to literally exclusive product-source companies?
