When you look at a company like Google; you come to the conclusion that they have a massive amount of power. The likes of Yahoo!, DuckDuckGo, Bing etc. don't seem to have any reasonable market share but is the government supposed to do something about it? The republican ideal is that the free market will determine viability and so if said companies want market share, they should do something about it.

Why the government has picked on FB here, I don't know. I hope to learn and understand but seems silly to me right now.
