When Republicans feel shunned because they're not showing up in the news rankings or the algorithms, they feel, let's regulate these guys. When it actually comes down to the court case, here is what is being described. When you go to Apple and you type in a couple of words in the URL bar, that you want to search for because we've all gotten used to this.

You guys may not remember this, but nearly 20 years ago, when browsers first came out on desktops and on mobile phones, you would not be able to just search by typing into the URL bar. You would have to type in a web search engine in the URL bar, hit go, and then you go to their search box and you type in your result.

What happened around the mid 2000s, 2004, 2005, is you suddenly were able to type in a couple of words into the URL bar of a browser and hit go, and it would give you search results. The question is what search engine did it give you those results from? And that's what this lawsuit is about. Google started to pay companies like Apple

to make Google the default search engine when you would type in a couple of words and hit go into the URL bar, because search became the primary way of surfing the internet, not typing in a URL and going to it. And then when they started doing that, they started to see more search traffic. Now, the real question from an antitrust perspective is did Google,

leverage its monopoly to pay to continue to be the default search engine to lock in the search market and prevent competition by doing this.

The judge said yes. Google is monopolizing search because they're paying to lock in the ability to type in to get the default on the search bar. By the way, you can go into the settings and change it. But what would the other default be?

I get it. Let me finish. So if they were to then say, let's make sure Google can't do that again. What's the search engine? Is it Bing? Is it Apple's search engine?

Because then there would be an antitrust claim to say that if there is a default search engine without the consumer having to actively choose what their search engine is, someone is monopolizing the install base that Apple has or the install base that whomever has where they are becoming the default search engine.

Now, to your point, like the ability for the judge to then say, you know what, this is one action of many that you are taking to monopolize search. Let's go ahead and figure out how we can prevent you from monopolizing search. And this is really focused on search. It becomes a very hard leap to say, let's break up the company. There's bias in the newsfeed that you guys are ranking.

This has nothing to do with search engine rankings. It has nothing to do with owning YouTube. It has nothing to do with like owning cloud. It has everything to do with Google monopolizing the search business, which is the biggest business on the internet. I do think that they go, that's where that gets narrowed and where there's a lot of paths, but I question what path is there going to be?
