Google Loses Federal Antitrust Case
(politicalwire.com)
This seems huge
“The ruling did not include remedies for Google’s behavior. Judge Mehta will now decide that, potentially forcing the company to change the way it runs or to sell off part of its business.”
I know the scope is for their search product, but I would love if Google was forced to fully divest from both Chrome and Android.
That would be an absolute dream. We need a MA-Bell style breakup
Oh, absolutely. In Google's case, when you're primarily an ad company, there's just way too many conflicts of interests in also controlling the browser, mobile OS, and the most prominent search engine.
This is also setting up:
It is likely to influence other government antitrust lawsuits against Google, Apple, Amazon and Meta, the owner of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp.
Lina Khan is a beast!
I did not have to Google this. I have it bookmarked and downloaded a copy. No antitrust case will get rid of our bad news happening to bad people mascot.
