Does Google's conduct, especially in substituting AI for a genuine search engine, constitute grounds for tortious interference lawsuits?

Hypothetically say my contract is to look up the final daily price for a stock & send it for analysis.

Suddenly, Google stops showing Bloomberg as the top result because Bloomberg stops paying Google for SEO.
Searches for the Bloomberg web site fail to appear in the 1st 100 pages of results.

Perhaps we need to stop using google

@Nigel_Purchase @Npars01 @carnage4life I did that five years ago and have been happy ever since.

What do you use?

shuttersparks, 23 days ago

@Nigel_Purchase @Npars01 @carnage4life Me, I switched to DuckDuck in 2018 and am very happy with it. Linux. Firefox browser with tracker blockers. Proton for email. Signal for texting. Zoho for online spreadsheets and such. (I've used Zoho since before there was a Google Docs.) For cloud storage for my family and me, I use a leased server in Germany where I also host blogs and web sites.
