Are we, though? It sounds like you're saying why go after google when there are so many other companies with similar levels of control over their own markets who we also don't go after. That's not a reasonable objection, unless you can find somebody who thinks that we should go after google, but not go after these other companies.

But you can -- the US Department of Justice, who are apparently preparing a case against Google and not companies in those other markets.

So in order to go after one monopolist they must go after all monopolists are once? Can’t they prioritize?

Which brings us back to the original question -- why are they starting with Google and not the others?

Especially when Time Warner and the other conglomerates have been doing this shit for decades before anyone knew wtf Google was
