7 d. ago ‘Slap on the wrist’: critics decry weak penalties on Google after landmark monopoly trial

Judge said tech giant had monopoly but let it keep Chrome and Android; critics cried foul while Wall Street cheeredA judge ruled on Tuesday that Google would not be forced to sell its Chrome browser or the Android operating system, saving the tech giant from the most severe penalties sought by the US government. The same judge had ruled in favor of US prosecutors nearly a year ago, finding that Google built and maintained an illegal monopoly with its namesake search engine.Groups critical of Google’s dominance in the internet search and online advertising industry are furious. They contend the judge missed an opportunity to enact meaningful change in an industry that has suffocated under the crushing weight of its heaviest player.

When we rejoice in others’ success, the Dalai Llama once said, we multiply our chances by billions. These are good odds!Making sense of it is a column about spirituality and how it can be used to navigate everyday lifeI once had a therapist who laughed – not just a chuckle but an unrestrained, full-bodied laughter.
