even if it’s a tad unfair.

I'm not shedding any tears for Google, but we shouldn't be doing things just because we don't like the person or group being impacted.

I absolutely hate Google and have spent a lot of time de-Googling my life. But when it comes to legal precedent, I think we should be very careful.

True, but legal precedents can be nuanced

For example, that whole litmus test with the three questions to determine if something is art or pornographic or obscene was borne out of a legal precedent.

So something similar could come out of this, where it's only applicable if the company in question is X market cap and controlling Y percentage of the market segment or whatever. It doesn't have to nor should be an all or nothing kinda thing
