Congressman Warns FTC: Leave Google Alone

Posted by timothy on from the there-is-only-one-ftc dept.

concealment writes with this selection from Ars Technica: "A Democratic congressman who played a leading role in the fight against the Stop Online Piracy Act earlier this year has taken up a new cause: shielding Google from antitrust scrutiny. In a strongly worded letter to Federal Trade Commission chairman Jon Leibowitz, Rep. Jared Polis (D-CO) praised Google's contribution to the nation's economy. He warned Leibowitz that if the FTC does choose to initiate an antitrust case against Google, Congress might react by curtailing its regulatory authority."

      It isn't nice to talk about the GOP that way. They can at least take their teeth out to speak instead.

    My Good Friend Jared,

    It would be a shame if your constituents found out about all this hentai porn you've downloaded from the Internet.

    Perhaps you should send my friends at the FTC a letter explaining how their current views of Google are untenable.

    Dearest Regards,
    Dr. Larry Page
