Statement on Google’s conduct by founder of CelebrityNetWorth.com (2019) [pdf]
The primary case here made against Google might be questionable behavior from Google, but might not be illegal, since simple numbers like a dollar amount can’t be copyrighted, and AFAIK there is no other legal impediment to Google doing what they did (IANAL).<p>What looks <i>far more</i> inculpatory to me is this, on the last page:<p>[…] <i>Because it controls essentially the entire 
internet, Google has endless levers at its disposal to significantly harm or snuff out a rival.</i><p><i>I don’t think it’s a coincidence that our organic rankings have continued to suffer since I’ve 
become a vocal critic of their practices. Earlier this year, within weeks of the publication of 
a Wired magazine article that included quotes from me and a recap of our story, the CNW 
mobile app was banned from the Google Play store without explanation or recourse. As a 
result we were also banned from using the Google’s dominant Ad Mob mobile ad platform.</i><p>This is far more damning of Google abusing its monopoly, not only on search, but also on the Android platform.
