Jesusfuckingchristonagoddamstick, these old white men are dumb as shit.

There are plenty of ways to call Google a monopoly in a dozen different ways. But search ain't it.

Old dumb white grandpas simply cannot fathom how this technology works. They just don't have the mental capacity to grasp it in a meaningful way, and they demonstrate this every single time they address the tech industry.

Fuck; Katie Porter or AOC could tear this lawsuit to shreds tomorrow, before they finished their morning chai. It ain't hard.

And what practical remedy could the Justice Dept request? (Because they haven't suggested anything. They just pointed the finger and yelled BAD! at Google, but have NO PLAN OR SUGGESTION FOR WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT.)

"Stop making Google the default search engine on Android."

That's it. That's the sum total of redress the Justice Dept can claim.

What a buncha fucking clowns.
