FTC Questions Merger Of Google With U.S. Government

WASHINGTON—Saying the move sparked antitrust concerns, as well as fears about the increased concentration of power in fewer corporate hands, the Federal Trade Commission questioned Tuesday the merger of Google with the U.S. government.

government and Google may not be without its positive effects, but frankly we at the FTC are struggling to see what real benefits American consumers will derive from combining one of the nation’s largest search engine, online advertising, and cloud computing companies with one of the nation’s largest providers of social services and public education. The merger of Google’s ad division with the Pentagon alone raises some fairly serious ethical concerns.

Was it a merger? My recollection was that it was an outright purchase of the US Gov.

It was a hostile takeover not a merger

Google Amazon and Pfizer already are the government .

Too close to reality...

I mean the FTC already merged with Amazon

Oh god. I had to read that twice and then check who posted it.
