Exactly, on the one hand this might pull some users away from Google, which deserves to be knocked on their ass for once. But if this is how it's going to be done, you might just be trading one abusive partner for the next.
I say we let Microsoft pound on Google for a while and then we regluate the both of them into the ground!
I mean... There's no reason to delay the regulation. We'll also need forever to get it done - the bastards will lobby to hell and back, watering the regulation down to nothing... Again.
