That's off topic, what I meant is there's no mechanism in Google which would make it voluntarily stop being a monopoly/oligopoly in good faith. It's not a person making that decision even, it's the whole organization. Every single person making decisions there may be good and willing for peace on Earth and goodwill toward men, but that's not how the mechanism as a whole will work. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] lieuwestra@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago Google might not, but it's shareholders want to minimise losses.
