For more than a decade, Google operated like a digital cartel, whether it was rigging markets, crushing small businesses, or silencing conservative voices with zero consequences. The company used its monopoly over online advertising to manipulate prices, dictate who can compete, and control who gets heard. But finally, we have a president and a Department of Justice with the spine to take Google on. And its not a moment too soon.Recently, the DOJ dropped a bombshell: a sweeping proposal to rip apart Googles monopolistic chokehold on the ad tech market. The plan? Force Google to sell its ad exchange, open-source its core auction system, and, if that doesnt work, force the company to sell off its publisher ad server entirely. On top of that, the DOJ is demanding oversight and profit disgorgement to make sure Google doesnt just rebuild its empire in the shadows.'DRACONIAN' AND DANGEROUS: FORMER TRUMP NAT SEC ADVISOR SOUNDS ALARM ON BIDEN-ERA DOJ'S PLANS FOR GOOGLEThis is not "regulation" as some would have you believe. In fact, this is long-overdue antitrust law enforcement for the Big Tech giant which has run rampant in suppressing opposing voices to leftist causes.For years, Google abused its monopoly power to destroy competitors and rig the system in its favor. It has been allowed to act with impunity, thanks in no small part to Obamas pathetic antitrust amnesty, which allowed Big Tech to consolidate power without fear of consequences. That era of looking the other way while Silicon Valley crushed innovation and censored conservative political dissent is over.This latest action from the DOJ is more than justified. Its necessary. Google controls both sides of the digital advertising market, between the tools publishers use to sell ads and the exchanges advertisers use to buy them. Its rigged and corrupt. And its exactly the kind of anti-competitive garbage that breaks capitalism and destroys the marketplace of ideas.Lets not forget who gets hurt the most: small businesses, independent media outlets, startups that are trying to build something new, and conservatives ability to speak freely. Google has systematically snuffed out anything it cant control and punished anyone who dares to compete or disagree. Whether its demonetizing content or flat-out censoring dissenting voices, Google showed it doesnt just want to win the market. It wants to control the narrative.TRUMP CAN REIN IN BIDENS OUT-OF-CONTROL ANTITRUST OPERATIONNow, with the rise of generative AI, the threat is even bigger. If Google is allowed to monopolize this space like it did with ads and search, it wont just dominate markets. It will dominate the truth itself. They already manipulate what you see. With AI, theyll manipulate what you think. That should terrify every freedom-loving American.So yes, this crackdown is long overdue. But its not just about punishing Google. Its about setting a precedent. Its about restoring real competition. Its about protecting American innovation, safeguarding our economy, and defending the principles that make America great, as President Trump says.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONThe DOJs proposed remedies are tough, but they can be tougher if necessary. No half-measures or easy exits. If Google is broken into pieces to restore fairness, then break it up, piece by piece. And if other Big Tech monopolists are watching, they better get the message: The era of consequence-free empire building is over. The Trump administration will ensure Big Techs monopolistic power is dismantled board by board, with the antitrust dream team of FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson, FTC Commissioner Mark Meador, and Gail Slater, the DOJs assistant attorney general for antitrust.We are not standing by while a handful of unelected tech oligarchs run this country from behind a curtain of code and censorship. Not anymore.Break them up. Make it stick. And dont stop until the free market is actually free from Googles chokehold again.
