Google is Evil
Google's 'Be Evil' business transformation is complete: Time for the end game
'Either Google is screwed, or we as a society are screwed'...
In November of 2021, a New York judge revealed the full prosecution filings in a multi-state antitrust lawsuit
against Google - one of many against the company, and of many more against the ad tech giants.

Google Colluded : .[Spoiler (click to open)].Anti-trust law
Headlines have concentrated on the claims that Google and Facebook colluded in a cabal to deflect legislation, bypass privacy technology, and share the spoils.
Claim : .Competition in the ad tech space is broken, for reasons that were neither accidental nor inevitable. One industry behemoth, Google, has corrupted legitimate competition in the ad tech industry by engaging in a systematic campaign to seize control of the wide swath of high-tech tools used by publishers, advertisers, and brokers, to facilitate digital advertising. Having inserted itself into all aspects of the digital advertising marketplace, Google has used anticompetitive, exclusionary, and unlawful means to eliminate or severely diminish any threat to its dominance over digital advertising technologies. via
The Jedi project is described in an amended filed complaint, that expands the December 2020 antitrust claim against Google, brought by Texas, 14 other US states, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. A year earlier, the US Justice Department filed a federal antitrust lawsuit. Colorado also filed a complaint last December on behalf of a group of 38 states. Then there's the complaint filed in July over Android and the Google Play Store, backed by 36 US states and commonwealths, along with Washington DC.
Google AMPs up (Accelerated Mobile Pages) to manipulate and capitalize its search algorithms. Most caveats were about the extra work for developers in "following the rules."
AMP promoted a way to "speed up mobile content delivery and improve user experience". Free to use for everyone, it required some JS code from Google and a few rules to follow; in return you got a free CDN optimised for your mobile content. As a bonus, because your content was faster and Google prioritises speed, AMP content got pushed up the search rankings. The problem is it is self-serving, "Use one, destroy many". via
For Instance : .Google (GOOG, GOOGL) loses an antitrust lawsuit brought by Epic Games with a jury unanimously deciding the tech giant used anti-competitive practices in its app store and billing system monopoly. via
The Latest Antitrust Case Against Google Is, By Far, The Most Serious : Some frame antitrust breaches as “evil woke bitch tech.” To Hell with Facebook (META parent fools regulators and judges)
Tens of thousands of content providers have become deplatformed, demonitized, and destroyed by Google antitrust practices as a result.
The internet has died. In the internet of things, once a thing is dead, it is dead.
.And Many Died
Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make
things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all
the value for themselves. Then, they die. (Goodbye!) - Cory Doctorow, Canadian-British blogger, journalist,
and science fiction author
The Sherman Antitrust Act prohibits conspiracies that unreasonably restrain trade with anticompetitive conduct
and mergers that deprive American consumers, and rob taxpayers, and workers of the benefits of competition. via
Evil tentacled leviathan Google waterboarding the secret internet ocean - What happens to service providers and internet
users who don't agree with their advertisers? It's called a capitalist takeover. Whatever you Google, Google is evil.
