They can just phrase it a little differently and argue semantics in front of a bunch of 70 year olds who don’t know what a browser is in a hearing or two. Maybe a couple campaign contributions through completely legal channels and that’s that. Anti trust enforcement has been falling in the US for decades.
I know you’re joking, but it’s genuinely pathetic how much of a paper tiger the FTC is. The world we live in is one in which a company like Google can and will just tank the FTC fine and continue anti-consumer practices.
This would become an Anti trust suit I would imagine.

I am cautiously optimistic of that new gal heading the FTC, she’s preparing suits I to Amazon and Google, so we’ll see how that goes
Yeah im sure the FTC is ready to do their jobs. Any. Day. Now.
