Google attempting to block Microsoft Yahoo! Deal
Sunday, February 3rd, 2008I find it pathetic that Google is attempting to block the Microsoft Yahoo! deal. In a short and sweet little blog post, David Drummond (Google SVP and legal council) claims that Microsoft is evil and trying to squash Internet openness and innovation. Pretty sickening that Google is attempting to stop Microsoft through an anti-trust argument. This is business - and I don’t think Washington should be involved in this matter or any monopoly related issues for that matter. Free market and consumer choice will always win out in a free economy such as ours - but this is obviously not a free market economy. Politics, law, power, and persuasion are influencing this massive tech buy by Microsoft. Microsoft’s business decision is not EVIL (Don’t Be Evil? - right Google?) it is a business decision that was made to increase shareholder value for Microsoft investors. This is not a moral or ethical question. The Microsoft Yahoo! deal will give internet users more options, more technology, and an alternative to Google. Is choice and freedom so wrong Google?
