EU suggests breaking up Google's ad business in preliminary antitrust ruling
These rulings for a company of Google's stature/importance are always funny to me. How quickly would public opinion change if Google decided to just shut off their service in the EU for a day?<p>Monopolistic breakups that serve the public's best interest are one thing. But how many people actually care that Google might represent a monopoly? Does it actually affect people negatively if the result is a positive online user experience? The world runs on Google and forcing that to change seems like a step backwards at first glance.
