@DrigoDev, free markets require freedom to compete. Ensuring that requires regulation.

Randian zero regulation would lead to massive cartels controlling everything.

As you can see I am an "Adam Smith style" free market guy, rather than an "Ayn Rand style" free market guy.

Even though I think Google will largely come out of this in the clear, I think its good that they are getting investigated: it shows that the regulators are not asleep and it gives Google a message that they need to watch what they do.
