There is so much I dislike about Google’s left-wing advocacy that writing this piece is difficult. However, the recent decision by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, holding that Google is a monopolist and, therefore, should be punished by the government, is unwarranted and should be thrown out upon appeal. Google’s search engine is dominant because consumers believe it works better than the alternatives. Capitalism is the ultimate form of direct democracy, in which millions of consumers vote each day with their clicks. And those consumers are voting overwhelmingly to use Google’s search engine.

Full disclosure: I mostly use DuckDuckGo in protest of Google’s left-wing bias, but despite my aversion to Google’s politics, I find myself going back to use their one-hour search of recent documents to keep up to date on the news.
