WHAT GOOGLE RIVALS WANT AFTER DOJ'S ANTITRUST TRIAL WIN

While Google has been ruled as an illegal monopoly, the Department of Justice has yet to announce what remedies it will seek. It has previously indicated that any remedies would be structural, meaning break-ups rather than mandates to change certain behaviors. Google rivals have suggested changes such as choice screens that pop up periodically, a ban on dark pattern popups that push people back to the default, and barring Google from buying default status or pre-installation and self-preferencing its own content in serve results. The final decision will be at least as consequential as the Microsoft antitrust case 23 years ago, which spurred an era of unprecedented innovation that allowed promising startups to flourish - including Google.

There are many legitimate times when administrative needs should supersede the individual. This article looks at when policies should optimize for the efficiency and happiness of the individual and when they should optimize for the team or company.
