What monopoly regulation would apply to a dominant market position delivering value at no cost to the user, for a product who’s competitors are but a click away?

I thought US monopoly laws were more about dealing with unfair profiteering off customers?

Or do I not know that Google’s advertising rates are regulated by monopoly laws?

the big thing that falls under monopoly regulations is google favoring ads for their products over competitors. showing google shopping results over amazon ones, for example.
