ZDNet poll: Is Google guilty of antitrust violations?

The United States Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against Google  accusing of "Exclusionary practices that are harmful to competition." Do you think they are right?

In my opinion, they are wrong. Google is not trying to monopoly and harm its competitors but benefiting many people making information globally accessible and useful. I believe this lawsuit is simply showing how government can kill excellence. I am not an expert on tech or laws but only an average Google user. However, I know how much Google helped me fill my thirst in learning without costing any money. I have learned my programming, networking, building websites without costing any money other than my Comcast bill. I am quite ignorant of Apple but I believe Apple is doing exact the same thing that Google is being guilty of and they are not being sued for it. I think the core role of government is serving its people not other business. Is Google harming other business or people? This is different from Rockefeller's oil industry monopoly. We need to look at Google's intention or mission of its business. 

"Google’s corporate mission is “to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.” Ever since its beginnings, the company has focused on developing its proprietary algorithms to maximize effectiveness in organizing online information. Google continues to focus on ensuring people’s access to the information they need. The company’s mission statement adheres to a utilitarian benefit that the business provides to its users. "

I believe killing Google to help its competitor is to kill its own people. I have experienced many cases Apple charging for apps that are available for free in Android app store such as Duo app while working as a security analyst at a healthcare industry. I think this lawsuit is helping other business that's aim is making money. Google has been great source of my own growth. I believe Google is an excellent company that has a strong mission to improve people's life better using their cutting edge technology. Thank you, Google!
