Google is dangerously close to becoming what Americans a century ago called a "trust," and what statutes refer to as an illegal monopoly.

It wouldn’t be the first. The Associated Press and its membership is (not are) “a conspiracy against the public” (Adam Smith). IMHO “bias in the media” is rooted in that fact (even tho “bias” in nonfiction is a separate - and possibly entirely intractable - issue).

Given that the core function of the AP - the economical distribution of news over expensive telegraph lines - has been mooted by the technological advances which make the Internet practical, the AP is no longer “too big to fail,” it is too big - period.

Meh... Google is evil. Ignore their mission statement.

You avoid them like you avoid an oncoming bus.
