Yes but Microsoft learned once you start lining the pockets of the right people, nothing happens to you!

Isn’t that a textbook antitrust violation?

The richest companies can probably afford the richest lobbyists

Yeah, but when they get fined 0.004% of their revenue with each violation then it’s hardly even worth worrying about. Legal penalties are basically minor business expenses to these companies - like buying toilet paper for the office bathrooms.

Apparently not. Google is nagging Edge users who visit Google services since years to switch to their “secure web browser with frequent updates” (implying that Edge doesn’t get any, despite being the same Chromium thing as Chrome). (Firefox is exempt because FF defaults to Google Search)

Yes. But micro$oft was declared a monopoly 20+ years ago and . . gestures to everything
what, you want reform? It didn’t have the votes.

Trust is when two or more companies secretly collude against the interest of customers. That is what you would find in a textbook anyway. This is more an abuse of monopoly.

Except it’s Google with the monopoly now.

USA companies don’t give a shit about antitrust anymore. Look at Amazon and Apple, the only places they get bit for their behavior are the European countries.

Even then Apple has been barely bothered. The CMA is the first big test, Apple has clearly not complied in spirit, lets see if that’s allowed and nothing changes.
