Google will get off with a slap on the wrist. Maybe they'll later buy apple and increase their presence.

Both Google and Apple stretch the laws, which is why both lose so many lawsuits; but what's different is nobody defends Google to the death.
*Only Apple has the cult that defends them to the death*
The Apple cultists are herd animals: The Android users are not.
Today, there is plenty of competition in phones/searching/email services/etc.
I have never used Google search and I get along just fine. You can use Hotmail/Bing/Yahoo/iPhones/Edge/Safari etc., with no money going to Google.

It clearly is nothing even remotely like a monopoly given
that it isnt the only search engine or anything even remotely
like the only smartphone OS or even app store.

Apple hasn't lost any lawsuits.
Yes it has, most obviously with intellectual
property lawsuits and tax lawsuits.

You might want to look at how many suits that article shows Apple lost...
Nope, that's what I was saying all along,
YOU stupidly claimed that it hadnt lost ANY.

Google is not a monopoly. There are multiple alternatives. No one is forced to use Google (or Apple). Being popular and making lots of money for stockholders is not the definition of "monopoly".
Second, you clearly have no idea what a monopoly is. Another fact.
You can't reallt blame him since the US and EU politicians, and the management at Epic, etc. have no idea what a monopoly is either.
Neither does any judge that lets the inane court cases last longer than
two seconds.

Google could well be. A *lot* of the internet runs on Google APIs, web
fonts, etc. behind the scenes, but using a proper Usenet server (rather
than a web-based one) should avoid that.
Apple is a monopoly in the sense that it's the only place making Apple devices ... but then that's how businesses work. If you want a Mustang
car, you can only get it from Ford. If you want a Big Mac, you can only
get it from McDonald's. Almost every business on the planet is a
"monopoly" in terms of the intellectual property.

Speaking of Epic, the judge in that case certainly knew. "Being successful is
not illegal" is what he said to Epic.

Nothing illegal there either.

Monopolies exist in markets. Not products. Thus Ford, McDonald's and Apple are not monopolies. There are plenty of choices in the car, fast food burger and computer/phone markets.

"Several monopolies"? How is that possible? You CLEARLY have no idea what a monopoly is. Hint: First, look up what "mono" means.
Illegal, no. But the statement was "is Google making money by me
posting this?" The reality is that Google / Alphabet is so intrenched
in the behind-the-scenes of many websites, so even if you don't
specifically use a Google app, you are likely, and unknowingly, still
using Google services, and to some degree being tracked by them.

Even if that is true, Google is still not a monopoly.
Also, I am not posting from a website.
