"You do not have to use google."
It's applicable to any search engine. Google is here the problem because it's by far the most used in the Western part of the world, and in some other countries as well.
Search engines became a too important part of everyday life to think they can work as they please and without respecting the law.
Or do you believe, for example, car makers should be allowed to build cars like the Pinto and burn buyers, because, you can avoid to buy a car - even if the closest grocery is now miles away?
