A US judge has just ruled that Google is a "monopolist" — and I find it interesting that this judgment is arriving at a time when Google is probably challenged more than ever across its core business segments. It highlights both the importance of tech regulation and how slow the antitrust machinery moves compared to the speed of evolution in the tech sector.

A US judge has just ruled that Google is a "monopolist". I'm no lawyer, but I find it interesting that such a judgment is coming at a time where Google in many of its core business segments is probably challenged more than ever.
This shows on one hand how important regulation in the tech space is, but also on the other hand how slow the antitrust machinery works, compared to the speed of evolution in the tech sector. Will be interesting to watch this space.
