When a company has an almost complete monopoly and they decide to bar someone from service, how is that not hurting them?

If you run a website that earns revenue based on incoming users and Google cuts you off, how is that not damaging you? You could use every single competitor and still not even get a quarter as much traffic as Google.




Hurting and damaging as in violence.

What if Google closed shop? Would you force them to reopen again? What if Google never existed?


If this is supposed to lead to the NAP, physical violence is not the only way a person's agency can be restricted or living quality can be reduced. (What I would define as "hurt" here)
