Google has been the most successful Internet company to date, a cash-making machine, dominating the online advertising market. Offering a large variety of online services for free, Google promotes the “do no evil” mantra to portray themselves as a platform, next-generation corporation that can peacefully coexist with and serve the online society. However, Google has accumulated enough market share and portfolio to effectively become an Internet monopoly.
