So basically they're using their monopoly to force through changes in internet standards? Sounds like the EU will be paying a visit soon.

It's all about ads/ad money/data, it's heavily bleeding into a single issue. It's not like some giant manufacturing company doing shady things with their cars and air conditioners, all the subsidiaries are interlinked. You could say WEI is just a Chrome thing, Google is just their search engine, AdWords is just an ad service etc, but they're all part of the data to ads to sales pipeline.
There's no overarching anti-trust conversation to be had because there's currently no anti-trust cases, if there ever will be. The comments under each individual instance of it being required is the "big conversation". As a content aggregation site (mainly news) the only place it could realistically occur is under some wishful thinking self-post nobody would care about.
I also saw people pine for trust busting just the other day under some Amazon article, there's simply nowhere else to post about it at the moment.
No silly, everyone but the guys with Nazi battalions and the two party democracies with proto-fascist conservatives are fascists.
It also loads like absolute shit
Wonder how many international and domestic workers they've contract rugpulled, since this will probably be the one that flies under the radar due to all the other issues.

We were just talking about who is or isn't fascist, not the justifications for the war, but I'll answer both. A significant portion of the west no longer really has elections, it has a two sided vote between "democracy" and fascism. Even by the standards of liberal democracy, can you even call it a democracy at that point? It sounds more like a regularly held fascism referendum. So when people call Russia fascist from these countries it just doesn't really strike a chord with me. Their favorite Russian leader, Boris Yeltsin, set up the structure of the RF while bombing parliament and they don't call him a fascist. It's just opportunistic propagandizing.
As for the Russian reasons of the war, I would imagine Russia is concerned about the mostly defensive military alliance built to dismantle them getting ever closer to them, and what happens when said alliance decide to not be so defensive for the fifth time in the last 20 years.
