92. Google was formed 27 years ago. There was no one else on earth that had the search engine capability

it built by 2000. The previous search engine, Yahoo, first in the market, was left in the dust. It still exists and folks still use it. That a competitor like Google far outstrips Yahoo's capabilities doesn't mean Google can be called a monopoly. As long as NVIDIA also had AMD as a chip competitor, it hasn't a monopoly, either, but on one has been talking about breaking NVIDIA up. For decades, both Google and NVIDIA were best at what they do, is all. Being big and the best at what one does doesn't make one evil.

Google owns DeepMind, the best AI out there, and closer than its competitors to AGI. Google's mission since acquiring DeepMind in 2014 has been that of its original three owners of the London lab, who contracted the sale with Google on two written conditions --
a) DeepMind technology never be used for military purposes, and b) that Google establish an independent ethics board that would oversee the use of DeepMind's AGI technology whenever that may arrive -- or the sale would not happen. And so the US Military has had to develop its own AI, Torch.

Break up Google to turn what of its holdings over? And to whom? Which companies would do internet search services equally as well or better? Would those companies be "good"? If Elon Musk purchased parts of Google's services, would Google then be good?
