This is why tech monopolies are bad. Google waited until they had a near monopoly on the browser engine and then pulls this shit. Alternatives still exist though, and people will vote with their actions by either not using Chrome or not using those websites that have DRM.
Hunter Biden is a private citizen. He can make all the amateur porn he wants and paying for prostitutes may be looked down on but it certainly isn’t worthy of a congressional hearing. It is a really poor decision on her part.
