I need you to explain to me how you came to that conclusion




1. You said if NN was repealed that Google would pay for the fastlane and then keep censoring.

2. FOr ALphabet that means that NN would be a cheap way to eliminate ALL competition.

3. It would be stupid for them NOT to want NN repealed and capture 100% of the market space.

4. Seriously, how stupid are you? Y our argument would mean they would IMMEDIATE:Y be against NN. They are in FAVOR of NN. Their corporate mission is to maximize VALUE FOR THEIR SHAREHOLDERS. That would mean supporting repeal of NN. They have the EXACT OPPOSITE STANCE.

Correct.

No. It would not be cheap.

Or they could capture that market in other ways and NOT have to pay Comcast billions.

In what world do you think Google wants to pay Comcast billions when they can capture that tiny market share that they don't already control in cheaper ways?

If ISP's can limit what you can access, the search engine's ability to limit what shows up in your search results won't matter. The ISP can simply launch its own search engine that only shows you results of pages that paid the ISP to be usable. The ISP's will then have the ability to kill the search engines in the long term by shrinking the internet to such an extent that the search engines really aren't even necessary any more and are either driven to the technological dust bin or bought out and merged into the ISP.
