Rap Genius faces Google's wrath.

Rap Genius faces Google's wrath.: Google isn't just a lucrative company with some popular products. It's a powerful company whose Web index and search algorithm are part of the critical infrastructure of 21st-century life. Antitrust law to an extent constrains Google from using its power over search to advance Google's other business interests. But Google apparently feels comfortable zapping a company like Rap Genius. There's a lot of wiggle room here. What if executives start pursuing personal vendettas via the search process? Back in the old days of the telephone book, I take it that Ma Bell wouldn't have been allowed to just make some particular business "disappear" from the white and yellow pages.
