OK then someone can sue them and they get due process in a court of law to battle out their free platforms VS content publishing media decisions and see what happens.

I will not endorse or support the executive or legislative branches getting involved with creating and administering regulations on social media platforms and search engines. I will especially not endorse that before the free market is given the chance to regulate itself. I do not like government interference into that market and I do not think it is necessary.

Lmao!!! Since you feel the need to be dick, learn to read.

What I stated is the first has been used alot. Now from your own link...

Two types of constitutionally influenced limitations on the federal antitrust laws are especially well established: limitations derived from federalism and limitations derived from the First Amendment right to petition the government for the redress of grievances

it's crazy how many "conservatives" are getting excited about the government expanding their power.

What's great about that picture is that those big corps are in bed with the government, so it is actually like it is the government.

Dominant market share is not a violation of Antitrust Law.


Wrong. Very wrong.

Courts look at the firm's market share, but typically do not find monopoly power if the firm (or a group of firms acting in concert) has less than 50 percent of the sales of a particular product or service within a certain geographic area. Some courts have required much higher percentages.



Now from the FTC:

Market Power
Courts do not require a literal monopoly before applying rules for single firm conduct; that term is used as shorthand for a firm with significant and durable market power — that is, the long term ability to raise price or exclude competitors. That is how that term is used here: a "monopolist" is a firm with significant and durable market power. Courts look at the firm's market share, but typically do not find monopoly power if the firm (or a group of firms acting in concert) has less than 50 percent of the sales of a particular product or service within a certain geographic area. Some courts have required much higher percentages. In addition, that leading position must be sustainable over time: if competitive forces or the entry of new firms could discipline the conduct of the leading firm, courts are unlikely to find that the firm has lasting market power.

First allows you to petition government.

First doesn’t give government grounds to regulate Google under antitrust. Show me how it does based off that link

Reminds me of the rush limbaugh, fairness doctrine controversy back in the day. Where did you fall on that one?

I give you liberals credit. You make a statement as factual, when it isn't, then parrot it over and over until you believe it to be true. Then try to argue the subject to fit the false statement.

Link to me one time where Trump ever said there should be no regulations, and that he was going to do away with regulations. Here's a hint, he never said it. He did say for every new regulation we should get rid of two outdated regulations. You do understand English, correct? For there to be new regulations he has to be okay to have regulations, and therefore isn't against all regulations. You can be against dumb regulations, and want to limit them, and still understand the need for certain regulations. Of course you already know this, but it fits your fake arguments better to proclaim anit-regulation conservatives are now in favor of regulations! Some of you should apply for jobs at CNN, you got this fake news stuff down pat.

None of that blathering has anything to do with the stupidity of using the government to regulate Google

It fits this argument because, yes, there are raging hypocrites and dimwit hacks that fit that statement precisely. As witnessed in this here thread. Have you not read it?

If Trump is so fabulously rich, perhaps his kids can start a new internet search engine company which gives only results he likes.

Nope. A business can have "monopoly power" without violating antitrust laws. It only becomes an antitrust case when a business with "monopoly power" abuses that power to gain or maintain market share.

From your link:

quote:

Obtaining a monopoly by superior products, innovation, or business acumen is legal; however, the same result achieved by exclusionary or predatory acts may raise antitrust concerns.

And WTF is an economic advisor doing getting involved in this? Is Kudlow angling to be Trump's propaganda minister?
