So it sounds like a reasonable middle ground is to ban companies who are attacking fundamental American freedoms from getting any government contracts.

E.g. A ban on google cloud from any government tenders.

It's also reasonable to start enforcing our monopoly laws.

oh but they aren't "hurting consumers.

Google learned from Microsoft. They pay their bribes.

Of course they are. And I bet a lot of judges would rule against them under our existing laws.

Even just what we could find in discovery would almost surely provide enough information to get the EU with its stronger monopoly laws to make a case.

Of course - but we can ensure YouTube is broken off from Google and has to compete in the free market.
