How long before Google gets sued over Google Plus?

So as always I’m probably late to the game but I’m for the first time seeing someone’s profile beneath a page I’ve searched for.

Anti Competitive

And I see the bosses picture in there underneath one of the items and I think to myself oh he +’d that it must be reliable.

So erm how long before Facebook or Microsoft issue a lawsuit over it being Anti Competitive I’m wondering?

    That said I don’t agree with that type of crap where they get sued over their search results and so on but just wondering how long before there’s a case lodged.

    And Facebook is giving all the info to Bing is that anti-competitive?

  6. There’s nothing in any way anti-competitive about his – they’re simply using the fact that (a) they know you have friends on G+ and (b) an endorsement by a friend is a good trust metric.

    They do the same with Twitter.
