Query:
On Tuesday 10/20, the US Department of Justice filed an
antitrust lawsuit against Google, alleging that its uses its
monopoly power for anticompetitive purposes, in violation of the
Sherman Act. Google has called the lawsuit "deeply flawed," and
other businessmen have criticized it, including Mark Cuban. I am
looking for feedback from SEO experts to quote in an upcoming
analysis article. Do you think Google abuses its monopoly power
in search and search advertising? If yes, how so? If not, what
do you make of the DoJ's allegations? What would a more
competitive search landscape look like, and how would it impact
users and advertisers? Any other thoughts?
Requirements:
Please reply with a 150-250 word response, your name, email,
title, professional affiliation(s), and an explanation of your
SEO expertise. Happy to dofollow backlink to anyone I quote.
Please also indicate whether you are interested in an interview,
as I may wish to follow up with some sources.
