The DOJ vs. Google Chrome: A War on Innovation and Consumer Choice
The Justice Department is demanding Google to sell off Chrome in the name of “fair competition.” This follows a court ruling claiming Google holds an illegal monopoly in search. But for Bitcoiners—and anyone who values free markets—this isn’t justice. It’s government overreach disguised as consumer protection.
#Google didn’t force Chrome on anyone. It became the world’s leading browser because users chose it. Yet, the DOJ now wants to punish Google for its power—tearing apart what the market built and replacing it with a bureaucratic experiment.
Here’s what’s really at stake:
▫️Property Rights: Forcing divestiture is theft, plain and simple. It’s a government seizure of innovation without ever calling it that.
▫️Consumer Sovereignty: Chrome wasn’t a monopoly. Consumers voted with their clicks. This intervention replaces their voice with bureaucratic arrogance.
▫️Free Markets: Monopolies don’t last without state help. Bitcoiners know this. Breakups don’t “fix” markets—they distort them, empowering rent-seekers over entrepreneurs.
This isn’t about #Chrome. It’s about a dangerous precedent: penalizing success and stifling innovation under the guise of fairness. Bitcoiners stand for freedom, decentralization, and the sovereignty of markets. Let the #DOJ know: hands off free markets.
Remember: Free markets correct monopolies. The state only creates them.
