Daily Mail files anti-trust lawsuit against Google for 'illegally building its dominance in ad tech industry by harming rivals, bid-rigging on ad auctions and manipulating news search results'
The anti-trust lawsuit against Google was filed in New York on Tuesday
It was brought by Associated Newspapers Ltd. and Mail Media Inc, the parent company of DailyMail.com and MailOnline
The lawsuit accuses Google of utilizing its market power dominance to increase profits for themselves by engaging in bid-rigging and search bias
It alleges Google has illegally built its dominant position in the ad tech industry and controls the tools publishers use to buy and sell online ad space
Google allegedly exploits its control of ad tech tools by forcing publishers to use its own ad server and exchange to eliminate competition from rivals
According to the suit, Google punishes publishers by manipulating search rankings if they do not sell enough advertising space through its exchange
For example, keywords related to Daily Mail's coverage of the UK royals and Piers Morgan has not prominently shown up in Google search results
It is the latest in a series of lawsuits filed against Google by the DoJ and attorneys general in several states that accuses the tech company of monopolization
Separately, anti-trust enforcers in the US, UK and Australia have also been investigating Google's conduct


Yes! I hope the Daily Mail wins.

'Aren't you already owned by the Royal Family and the Globalists? Nearly everything in your so called newspaper is paid copy claiming to be news. Besides, my wife gained ten pounds on one of you 'miracle diets' so Fuck You!"

JD Vance, possible future GOP Senator from Ohio, on Google:
"If I'm being honest, I just don't care that Google is a private company, because it has too much power. If you want to have a country where people can live their lives freely, you have to be concerned about power, whether it's concentrated in the government or in big corporations."

Republicans cautiously open to Big Tech critic Lina Khan being Federal Trade Commission member


Senate Republicans Wednesday expressed cautious openness to supporting progressive Biden Federal Trade Commission nominee and vocal Big Tech critic, Lina Khan, highlighting the unique bipartisan agreement to rein in tech companies.
No Republicans expressly said they would support Khan’s nomination, during a Senate Commerce hearing on her nomination on Wednesday. But multiple GOP senators agreed with the Columbia Law School professor on key tech issues and her approach to the commission’s authority. Unlike with many nominees of President Joe Biden, Republicans were not hostile or aggressively against Khan.
Instead, they praised her approach to limiting the power of tech giants such as Facebook, Google, and Amazon, which among other companies, have become a bete noire for Republicans, who contend the platforms discriminate against conservatives.
Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas said he “looks forward to working” with Khan on Big Tech issues, indicating he expected a successful confirmation process for her. Cruz said he wanted to work with her and other FTC commissioners to promote and ensure transparency from Big Tech.

If she were going to do anything more than lip service, Biden would not nominate her. Remember how Elizabeth Warren was appointed way back and was going to take on the finance industry? Same thing - just talk to placate the masses. Khan's job will be to talk tough to calm those concerned with the power of big tech. No real action will be taken against any corporate Dem supporter, especially not Facebook, Google, or Amazon.

If she does shit, she has a CIA poison umbrella dart in her future. Who do you think has run Big Tech since 2004? So she'll just piddle and piss.
