I don’t like google and I don’t like the way their shitty search is stuck in every hole.

But denying by court a company a right to honestly pay to another company for distribution of their services has much worse long term consequences and is wrong.



You don't get to pay other companies to keep out your competitors when you're as big as Google. It's as simple as that.

Considering this is an antitrust case, those payments are not honest.


That is my point - they _are_ honest (i.e. not stolen or tax evaded, not earned on illegal drugs etc).

But a short sighted court decided otherwise for whatever dumb reason they had.


Oh, nothing dumb about antitrust. It is an important regulation. Good to see it being upheld.
