Antitrust in Tech Industries

Two stories about Google indicate the dangers of antitrust in fast moving tech industries.  Microsoft is urging the EU antitrust authorities to sue Google.   (Microsoft was itself the victim of a massive antitrust action. I guess it is true that abusers are likely to have been themselves abused.)  At the same time Google is rolling out a new social tweak to its search function because it is losing business to Facebook.  Let’s hope Google doesn’t sue Facebook.  The Web was better when it was the Wild West.
