Comments on: Calif. AG urged to probe Yahoo-Google ad deal

State assemblyman Joel Anderson, concerned about privacy issues, wants California to join the list of states scrutinizing Yahoo's search-advertising agreement with Google.

"impossible for any competitor to crack Google's stranglehold on Web advertising." What's the problem here--privacy or stranglehold? I thought Republicans were supposed to be pro-business, anti-regulation. What's all the fuss about anyway. Advertisers have been targeting consumers based on their buying habits for at least 50 years, probably forever.

@ Pete Bardo, pro-business doesn't mean support for anti-competition, anti-consumer pacts between the #1 and # 2 players in web search, who between them account for a whopping 90% of web searches. This unholly Google/Yahoo pact has to be stopped.

Google will rise and fall too... Look at when AltaVista.com was up there.... Someone somewhere will eventually come up with a better algorithm that will replace Google one day.....

"If Google is allowed to control over 90 percent of Internet searches, those data-mining capabilities will be unmatched and will soon make it impossible for any competitor to crack Google's stranglehold on Web advertising." .

And it would also be saying that if someone cracks Google's security measures, we'd be sitting ducks in the face of internet annihilation.
