What the Fixes for Google’s Search Monopoly Mean for You: It’s a ‘Nothingburger’

The article discusses the proposed fixes to address Google's search monopoly, which the author deems a "nothingburger." The article suggests that the federal judge's remedy fails to bring about meaningful changes to how people use their devices and the internet. The article explains that the proposed fixes, which include requiring Google to allow third-party search engines to be set as defaults on Android devices and Chrome, do not go far enough in addressing the company's dominance. The author argues that these measures are unlikely to have a significant impact on the way users interact with their devices and the web, as the vast majority of people will continue to use Google's search engine by default. The article concludes by suggesting that the proposed fixes are a "half-measure" that fall short of addressing the core issue of Google's market power and the potential harm it poses to consumers and competition in the digital landscape.
