Yes I can see the dystopian consequences of google’s search monopoly profits, which they have used to do such horrible things as:

- Providing a free alternative to Microsoft’s monopolized office suite and desktop OS

- Provide a free alternative to Apple’s mobile OS, spurring a revolution in access to the internet for the world’s poor

- Provide free global maps with streetview sights

- Provide a free to access video platform with invaluable educational resources that allows millions of creators to make a living and that likely wouldn’t exist save for Google’s monumental investments and ability to sustain years of losses

- Research given away for free that ignited the current AI revolution

- Research given away for free that is revolutionizing medicine and drug development

In sum, truly a horrible thing they’ve done
