    Not quite

    Your initial argument that the complaint alleges no competitors while suggesting the competitors are used when "googling" has a flaw in that a "monopoly" can be achieved while still having competitors. I believe you had used this argument in a previous article. Competitors can exist, but not be frequently used, giving the company monopoly powers over the market without being a literal monopoly. Of course I agree that the litigation is ridiculous. If the government is so concerned about monopolies ruining our economy I think they should go after the low hanging fruit first. There is so much of it these days, it would be hard to know where to start.
