did you miss this part in the article you linked? He is talking about smaller government but not no government. Imo, he is correct to say

"Antitrust enforcement is far preferable to the creation of inefficient government regulation and bureaucracy that could hamper innovation in these crucial industries," the senator wrote."

I disagree with him on the issue though.

maybe google wouldn't have such dominance if the other search engines didn't suck so bad.

It makes sense to regulate and break up google. They have too much power and need to be taken down like the government did to Microsoft.
