At some point, you might've noticed that Google occupies quite a large section of the internet. From its search engine, to its text, voice, and video chats, to its turn-by-turn navigation app, to its email offering, if it's a digital thing people use, Google generally has a worthwhile and free version of it. Because of that, some might say that Google doesn't make it easy on the small guys, and doesn't help promote a fair economic ecosystem. About 19 months ago, the Federal Trade Commission looked into that, launching an antitrust investigation. Now, the FTC closed it, and Google came out relatively unharmed.
