Sue COMCAST instead. They inflict direct damages to consumers in towns where they are the only Internet provider, where they charge $120 for famously unreliable connections with terrible customer service.
This! yes. My area had zero choice in their internet provider. Whomever had area dominance, that was your internet. You were not allowed to install another service provider and if you tried, that new provider declined saying they weren't authorized to service your community. I guess it's supposed to parse out the territory equitably but it should ALWAYS be the consumers choice as they will always choose the provider that balances between reliability and cost. I hated not having that choice and being forced to pay for a provider i didn't want.
Apple...
@the hevy I'd say let's prioritize the issues :) Again I say COMCAST SUCKS
It doesn't have to be one or the other - they should be doing both. They defintiely have the resources available to do that too .
Here in India, new apartments have atleast 3 providers, you can choose any company you like
Also, in remote areas state owned BSNL provides decent internet at really cheap price 🤗🤗
And here we are, all of us, commenting about this on a google platform.
Stills need to ne broken up... Give a reason why no?
Google Platform is not free. We need to either buy RUclips premium or you'll be forced to watch Ads.
Is there another choice?
@@p.jessoncollins7296 because it has always been a choice, by users and buyers - google is not the only place you can advertise - Second it has always been a choice to install the search engine onto your system - Windows itself, doesn't even list Google (from raw install) for a browser - you have to actually type it in (when bing, yahoo, etc are listed). They didn't get big because they cheated - they got big because they are better, like duh. Its called free enterprise, not free to win! You people that want free or a "fair" handicap so you can win... go to a social government... where everybody is treated average. yeah try World Series.... 10 teams get to win. which is like saying... nobody wins. Get a clue, actually get 6 clues!!!

Google then: Microsoft is unfair and a monopoly
Microsoft now: google is a monopoly 😂
Ironic
Now the slime bag Gates is telling us to take the vaccine.
4:25. The guy in the back is a very wealthy business tycoon indeed.
is that the monopoly guy?
@@thomasbuckler3977 It is. Guy got jokes.
I came looking for this comment lool
Mark Saxby,
U guy made me laugh so hard 😃
i was like, “who are you talking about???”
and then i saw him 👀
If a service is free , then you are the product.
Not so bad. Just see how awesome the service is and show some gratitude.
Yet when given a subscription-based option without ads, most people choose not to use it.
4:24 omg I just noticed the monopoly man on background lol 😂
Fun fact monopoly man is JP Morgan
Incognito mode
isn’t private.
Not trying to defend Google here, but
1) that has nothing to do with antitrust/anticompetitive
2) Incognito simply erases your cookies/history for you. Any website can still track you easily with a database. Use VPN/Tor if you want anonymity against corporate interest. Note, that VPN exposes you to VPN provider (or VPN being hacked), Tor is speculated to be controlled at least partly by the US military.
nothing's private anymore....Google is the last holdout against the govt getting everyone's emails, etc. That's why the govt is punishing them. All the best to you!!
@Megatron EX1127 it is not pointless. Our free market cannot function when there are monopolies. Monopolies prevent competition. It is a pretty big deal.
@Megatron EX1127 umm...it's not for Google using ppl's data.....Google was the last holdout that refused to let the govt put govt hardware into their servers......that makes it easy for the govt to collect all our emails and all the other stuff on our computers. The other companies said "OK" right away, and the biggest servers on Earth were built in 2010 in Utah to keep all this information. (that's the Obama admin) If a large company doesn't do what the govt wants, often the remedy is to declare the company a "monopoly" and to break it up. It depends on where the case is heard...it's too complicated for most ppl to understand....if it's heard in New York the govt wins, if it's heard in Mississippi, the company wins. The company is "punished" for defying the govt's secret orders by being broken up. (didn't anyone listen to E Snowden?) All the best anyways!! ps the govt doesn't WANT permission to use ppl's dats...they want it kept secret that they're in everyone's computer and smart phone....
Privacy is a lie.
It’s not a challenge. Nothing will come from this unfortunately
Lobbying is going to be the end goal, look for it. Google's lobbying efforts are going to be a whole lot larger, and that's the idea.
Yeah, I know. They make it seem like there will actually be change, but it's exactly what happened in 2013. The FTC silently let google off the hook after fierce lobbying. Democracy as a concept isn't actually quite that great at voicing the opinions of the people. It's just better than anything else we have, which is just sad at this point. The EU regulates its lobbying, which means big companies can't flex their muscles there, but when the same rules are introduced in the us, companies - you guessed it, lobby against it.

@@thepocketlion6470 I don't think you understand. Lobbying means money in the pockets for politicians/political parties. Keeping in mind lobbying is how politicians continue their careers after leaving office. The end goal is to get Google to "donate" to them or face regulation, fair or not. Keep in mind Microsoft didn't even spend money for lobbying until congress started meddling with their business. Do you really think it was about Netscape? Do people really want to pay for an internet browser? No, because people have the expectation that computing devices provide that out of the box. It's like complaining Ford includes tires on their cars and Michelin having a fit over it.
I'm on Google's side, but they shouldn't give in. They should just keep it 100 and if they're good, they have nothing to worry about except maybe more hassle later on.
More power than any company in the History of the World.
Freedom in America goes down the drain when money is at stake.
Here is a tip, money is one of the reasons that allow us to be free - poor people, poor nations don't have the resources to exercise, freedom.
When 90% of all searches are Google and they take 40% of all ad revenue, this causes a monopoly. You can figure out the rest.
Doesn’t matter. Anyone can use bing or any other search website. So it’s not a monopoly.
Are those 90% forced to use it or are they using it voluntarily? Make that distinction first.
@@WildSkyMtn do you know anything about how antitrust laws work, except for the word monopoly?
@@Devilish__ But thats not Antitrust, how can you say that is anti-trust when its the consumers who are choosing to use said platform. Does the NFL get an antitrust lawsuit since more than 50% of americans watch football as their primary sport? Antitrust is used to promote competition, but when its the consumers that are indirectly causing the monopoly, then its perfectly okay. your acting as if there is no other competition online. There is and there is alot of competition, but people still prefer to use google products.
If you think about it, nearly everyone is using Google's services, and most of the time, for free even. So I think it is just fair that they earn something out of their creation. Or are you saying someone else should earn out of Google's hard work? Also, I believe Bing and Yahoo hasn't kicked the bucket yet, and Google didn't do anything to stop people from using those. In fact, on a clean Windows 10 installation, the default search goes to Bing. So in fact, shouldn't Bing and MS be accused of monopoly for NOT giving the end user a choice on which search engine to use? Sure, you can change the default search engine, but only after going into settings, which NOT all people are tech savvy enough to do. It is fine for you perhaps and most of the current generation, but, collectively, it does not cover everyone to be able to choose. Google offered their services and did not stop others from doing the same.
anyone remember when microsoft was sued for bundling their products? It's like suing McDonalds for selling burgers, fries, and coke together when the convenience store next door only has coke.
when we need cash we turn to sue google . The EU fined Google twice
They don't pay taxes based on their real revenue, so politicians just see lawsuits as a way of collecting sales/income tax, and ignore the underlying anti-trust issues of uber-rich globalist's monopolies because they are their biggest campaign contributors. Anybody notice that AT$T and Micro$oft went right back to being monopolies stifling innovation?
This is about the outsize political power Google wields and not about collecting taxes. No other company has eroded democracy like Google. They control 90% of internet searches and have become the Ministry of Truth. Whatever news they don't like goes down the memory hole...never to be seen by the masses. Their efforts to modify the news to support Hillary Clinton was proven in court but upheld because as a private company, it was their right to do so. They have also worked hand in hand with the Chinese Communist party (project Dr@g0nfly).
actually, what's sadder is that when we need cash, we just do antitrust lawsuits against google, who will inevitably ramp up lobbying and line the pockets of politicians. I sound cynical, but it's the sad reality.
For people complaining about Google there are always alternative platforms to use
if google goes out tbh am gona cry for seven years of using my Google acct the information in there are more valuable to me than my own car please leave my google alone apple should be the one to be sued.
Apple is clearly a monopoly Apple owns : Phone Hardware, software, search engine, APP store, music store, icloud, i tab, wireless ear phones, Apple TV, Apple news.
If you use an ipnone you really don't need anything because they are all in front of you but google only have a large share in search and software which is andriod, and every search engine is crying like a baby. am very sure Apple is behide this too
Yo guys should take a look at Amazon
Amazon doesn’t have a hold on major social media.
They are better at lobbying, by lobbying I mean creating local jobs where you work in a warehouse with robots that can bear mace you
or comcast...
The apple app store
@@Devilish__ Amazon has been seen to price control the market and push their own products first internally.
I.e: A company and Amazon both sell the same good. Company A prices it $22 and submits the listing to Amazon. Amazon, before posting the product from Company A, can lower its own product pricing to $21 *and* put its own product ahead of Company A's.
It's a ongoing issue that sellers have been complaining about at Amazon. It's not creating fair competition, it's pricing others out of online marketplaces turning itself into an even bigger monopoly.
SEO is basically Google-Optimization. There needs to be competition, either forced or unforced.
There is. Im watching this in DuckDuckGo
You know it's a problem when the government actually starts to question your methods
Why only now? Google probably has been doing for decades. Why just now?
Better late than never.
It has censored away an article too many and the pile of straw finally broke the camel's back.
They did say it was long overdue. I agree, they should have taken on Google a long time ago.
@@nikwaggoner2480 google censor articles? thats twitter and facebook
@@thewolfofswingthat2035 as well as the current system of fact check notices when you search certain things like "joe biden china"
While I agree that it is difficult to show direct harm to consumers, the larger problem is the censorship of ideas\content prioritization that big tech does. They decide what constitutes correct speech based on vague user guidelines then permit subsidiaries to take down content that doesn't support that moderator's political agendas. This is what makes the concept of hate speech so insidious: censorship of detestable speech/art will always enable special interest to start to dictate what is acceptable.
And by making their algorithm seek content that a viewer wants to see, they are making it far easier to stay within political/philosophic thought bubbles than at anytime in history. And then you have the issue of when searching for something, Google determines what is ultimately shown in the top list. This is a form of editorializing, as they decide the rank and relevance of the content to be shown. And since this is intrinsic to search , this one is particularly difficult to address.
The power this one company has on the whole world's access to information gives them the ability to steer everyone to their perspective by only showing content that supports their end. It is the same problem when granting the power of education to a single entity. Control access to education/information and you, in large part, control thought.
There is little wonder why they so willingly supported China's great firewall...
I totally agree. google has the right to run its business but has no God-given right to censorship and impose its bias on those with opposing views that he has by silencing their voices. America is all about freedom for all, not a select rich few.
While I agree with the sentiment that these platform should enable true Free Speech (however it is implement while keeping the obvious hate speech in check), the problem is that Free Speech in its current form only protects you from the government going after you. Google is a non government entity. It is their platform, their investment, their money and their rules. I 100% agree with the ideals of Free Speech however the current laws are so dated that its hard to apply them to tech companies. We need a comprehensive overhaul of our laws to account for the fast changing tech sector. Only then we can narrow down onto who acts like the censor.
They blocked certain ads from being able to be perchances based on if they compete with a business they partnered with. Like repair shops can’t buy ads on google but google advertises some big names like apple’s repair service.
Anti-trust has nothing to do with "censorship". Also, it's not censorship; private companies, like anyone else, have an absolute and unlimited right to decide what content they want to host on their property. A property owner gets to decide what kind of billboards go up on his land next to the highway and a website owner gets to decide whose comments stay and whose get deleted. You can't force private companies to let you post on their website and private companies have a every right to be as politically biased as they wish. There is no requirement that private companies be politically neutral.
@@generalpopcorn6427 yeah but the reason they are betting target by anti trust isn’t censorship. google is the largest market for online advertising by far however they block certain businesses from buying ads and then work with some big corporations who do the same thing as the blocked businesses who get to advertise all the time. Blocking competitors from almost all online advertising is anti competitive business taxes.
This is just like the Microsoft anti-competition methods used in the 1990s.
MS is still a monopoly. Try to engineer almost any software without them. Virtually impossible.
yeah remember how that helped a lot.... huh??? Another FAIL
@@joetaylor5170 But only in the PC market which is getting smaller and smaller every year. That was still completely different in the 90s. Mobile Microsoft hardly plays a role.
NO Goggle is worse because they steal and sell your personal data when you use their products. This is a big deal and much worse than Microsoft and the browser wars.
Now all monopolies Amazon, Google, Facebook, Microsoft came together. We're screwed 😂😂
Free services tend to be monopolistic because why would you use something other than google when its the best search engine?
If you replace google, then you're gonna get another google.
I'm googling Google antitrust lawsuit!😂😂 Wonder what will come up
same info.... genius!
@4:33 I'm really liking the Monopoly Man in the background.
Yay! Hold them accountable!
Why does this feel familiar in the 90s and 20s?
Oh right, monopolies and trust.
Microsoft and standard oil were small potatoes compared to Google. No other company has eroded democracy like Google. They control 90% of internet searches and have become the Ministry of Truth. Whatever news they don't like goes down the memory hole...never to be seen by the masses. Their efforts to modify the news to support Hillary Clinton was proven in court but upheld because as a private company, it was their right to do so. They have also worked hand in hand with the Chinese Communist party (project Dr@g0nfly).
Bubbles abound
As a millennial growing up along with the birth of the internet, google has always been the smoothest and most user friendly search engine in my opinion. I would much rather prefer google compared to bing, Yahoo, ask jeeves or any other search engine (except firefox, they're still pretty sexy.)
Technically, you mean the birth of the Web. If you meant mainstream adoption of the Internet, fair enough.
I think you don't get it it's about political abuse of power and Google makes it impossible for other new Search engines companies to manifest ! So it's about domination and killing off potential competition for Google 😉
@@jimvermeer9451 That's not actually accurate. For example, Pimeyes is a new search engine that specializes in facial recognition, which is something that Google's reverse image search doesn't seem to actually do particularly well if at all.
So the Justice Department is helping poor Windows and Yahoo? The small business man? Yeah right.
US is made by big companies monopoly. Just Andrew Carnegie did with steel . US government protects monopoly it's doesn't prosecute them , it helps them instead
2001 ~ GOOGLE = Don't Be Evil....
2020 ~ GOOGLE = Oh yess, We are EVIL...
*Undying hunger of google for data would push it into fragmentation by the regulators and government to end the monopoly.*
Q: How is consumer affected by the cost of advertising?
A: To answer this directly we'll have to step down a bit to dig deeper. These ads are placed on the consumer devices/screens through passive profiling of each individual, which in plain English means - Your personality and identity is a computational model to companies like Google, that can be test and try its hypothesis in order to further refine the model! Are you comfortable being called as a computational model is a more apt question!
The real question here is why you are using the mere name of "computational" and "model" to dare people's comfort.
Do you 1) have zero clue of what you are talking about? or 2) know what you are doing but just enjoy fear-mongering and distorting fact?
Aside, I wish I could watch the 3 idiots upvoting your garbage in actuality -- what kind of ignorant and confused idiots will I find? -- like whale watch, but idiots. Should be entertaining.
if you are not a customer (paying) you are the product...
The only thing I have a problem with is that I can't remove Google from
my android. The rest of that stuff, I could simply use another search
engine. But they always know where I am through my phone which is
worrisome.
well you can use another search engine and uuh they collect your data also - does that help...

Hopefully they get a go at FACEBOOK too
Unlike Apple ... Google has a monopoly.
Google Maps is heavily subsidies by the US Government for map information.
We shouldn't break up Google, it'll just make the Chinese competitors much more stronger.
They need to look at Amazon, not Google.
So glad this is happening.
You guys know the meme of Obama giving Obama the medal of freedom? That's WSJ at 4:45

Did you tried DuckDuckGo, Bing, Yahoo? This are still good!
@@saurabhparate they suck compare to google
@@pantethine66 they only "suck" because of us. Most modern search engines, or Information Retrieval IR, rank the web links in a certain way in which the more users click on a specific link the higher it gets ranked. If everyone started abandoning Google and we all started using a different search engine, Google would eventually "suck" because their indexing would also be outdated.
@@pantethine66 they are not so bad, I use google and duckduckgo together and they each have their purpose. If I want to see annoying news from annoying big news site I can go to google, if I want to search for real articles I go with duckduckgo

All of those major tech companies need to be broken up... Their just too big... Specially Facebook!!
And create many sub par companies with shoddy workmanship? The shared pool of people in these big companies help to create the technical feats we use daily in my opinion.
@@AyushPoddar doesn't mean tgey cant continue... But they need to be broken up.. They need regulations..

@@p.jessoncollins7296 Wow wow wow that's not how this works. We live in a justice system that's "Innocence until proven guilty". Give your reason as to why the companies should be broken up? Reasons not to are as follows: Lower quality products, slower technological development, increased competition within a field, decrease in usability and features in devices. There are many more than this, but these are the most prominent.
Pretty obvious now. Don't think anybody needs to be told, after they crushed Parler.
A big issue I have mentally conflicting with this is the raw amount of benefit google has provided to ME ALONE out of the billions they serve. Anti competition laws are designed to protect markets with goods and services, people not megamonoliths, how do you necessarily tell a company to stop being inquisitive or self reliant when that company has more R and D than most freaking countries have. The first ai will most likely be a google labs made project.
In this case the DOJ is protecting democracy. When you control 90% of search and manipulate the search results to support your own agenda, you are effectively brainwashing the masses and eroding democracy. Their "curation" of the news to support Hillary Clinton was proven in court but upheld because as a private company, it was their right to do so. They have also worked hand in hand with the Chinese Communist party (project Dr@g0nfly). Also, Google labs hasn't produced anything noteworthy. Google is just an advertising cash cow because of their search engine and RUclips.
Everything google earns money from isnt made from google labs it was all made before google made any bucks.
@@LetterSignedBy51SpiesWasA-Coup Get out Trump shill
Businesses that r too big are dangerous. We need some regulation to prevent monopolies.
@@joegroft5944 The thing is what happens when other products are ..... sucky let's put it that way. I agree on one point of Google's CEO where lower quality products are being "promoted" because the laws deem you to have a product that the majority of people prefer. KInda like how one student excels in a class and has marks far ahead of the average but for the sake of maintaining the class morale, the teacher deliberately makes the excellent student's test harder than others.
The only other search engine I would say is on par is Microsoft edge, though it too is a product is a major monopoly company.
Though I would also say that monopolies can also stifle competition because when you are at the top, you want to REMAIN at the top. This is provided that you know that your potential competitors' products are on par or of even better quality.
That's what competition is about though, capitalism is about competition, at least in our current modern understanding. But you gotta balance that with fairness, which is a very difficult and complex thing to do.
In google's case, it is more what I said in the first paragraph.
That's my opinion though.
It's Carlo. He's gonna testify.
Also Uber and Lyft need to be investigated. Ones you sign up to drive, its set up to be great at first, then you are slaved.
did anyone else notice Stephen Colbert in the background lol 4:24
Pichai is a Google "con man."
Don’t forget about Amazon.
I just hope in addition to this we also prevent the foreign companies from rival/enemy nations I.e. Baidu, alibaba, Tencent from taking the place of our companies.
That's not how the U.S. marketplace works at all. If there is a demand for a good, people are going to use it regardless of if it's domestic or foreign.
You take away the domestic well-known options, you'll see increased foreign competition in the U.S. since they're already established.
Aaaaaaand Chinese companies will take over. RIP The American Era
Google wants to be a Chinese company and takes Chinese Communist Party orders. Prime example, project dr@g0nfly

@@alexadams4095 Just watch!
then again who wouldn't try and look out for number 1,but when I use Google I usually never click the first few results of my searches
So it's only a problem when other companies don't get a piece of the money pie?? What about WE THE PEOPLE who have ZERO privacy and are tracked like animals?? What about our rights?!? It doesn't matter what search engine one uses, everything goes back to google. My tracker information shows the vast majority is google, amazon and Facebook
Tbh I don’t think I’m really against Google. I mean there are a company who build products and services that people love and decided to use every day. What they need as a company is to make money. It’s kinda weird to tell them that they are too successful and shouldn’t make that much money. They say they are anti-competitive to use their services on their platform but I mean.. it’s theirs.
Microsoft wasn't meant to allow other search engines. They were meant to allow other internet browsers. Nice reporting.
Google, Facebook, and Amazon
#innovative #forwardalways
It’s about time.
The question is what will change the answer is NOTHING.
It takes 4 mouse clicks to change your default search engine in Chome, yet I don't. Maybe if Yahoo and Bing didn't suck so much, Google wouldn't have such a huge market share. What is stopping them other than sucking too much at making software?
It's a blow to the heart of Google's virtual monopoly. As per my gut feel, Europe would definitely come up with a strong alternative 💪 so soon
Let's be frank. There's only enough room for one monopoly, and that's the Government.
I don't think this lawsuit should be on Google
They need to do it to Facebook to.
Is just ridiculous how many ads are on google search and RUclips. I see more ads then content
As the article says antitrust is designed to protect the CUSTOMER. It’s not Googles fault that everyone uses google for search. Pay the money if you want your ads to pop up prominently on google.
Normally I’m against big tech. However I don’t think they have a case here. I can literally have whatever browser I want at will. Microsoft was different because I was forced into having their browsers and software. If I’m able to choose what I want when I want I don’t feel like I’m being forced into a monopoly.
What intrigues me is that no one is forcing users to use Google. This isn't like a monopoly on rail or air travel, like what's happened in the past. Or on ISP's or cell service providers.
It's not like the user has only 1 option of Google. Don't like YT? There is DailyMotion and Vimeo to name two. Don't like Google Search? There is Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, and a *plethora* of others.
If you're arguing that Google places prevalence on its own products first, it could very well be that users are simply just using those products more, thus more popular, thus appearing first.
And finally, if you are going to discourage that type of behavior where the popularity of a product shouldn't be considered and all products must be treated equally, you're essentially creating socialism in the online search marketplace. Companies like Amazon, Walmart, etc. Already do this both online and in-store with their own products. Where are those lawsuits?
Each of the big tech companies are a much larger threat to the market than Microsoft was when they were investigated for anti-competitive practices.
While there looking at Google, Disney is trying to bye either Paramount or MGM.
Which ever is cheaper!
Disney also needs ro be broken up if it gets to large..

Downloading essential non-Google apps without maximizing memory space is impossible. Perhaps they have enough savvy to streamline it's apps to allow better ability to prosper using cellphone technology.
What will happen? They settle, pay some money and agree to some minor changes and carry on...
if the government has their way... you will have nothing but Bing like search engines - no google what so ever --- you old enough to remember the phone company break up - now where are they... out maneuvered by cell companies!! GOV has no business meddling in businesses - they don't make anything (cept laws) and they can balance a budget since 1950.
How many former FTC employees from the time leading up to the 2013 decision not to go after them have been employed by google or taken on as "consultants" in the years since? See also operatives of both major parties.
This is War.
BIG TECH IS GOING DOWN!!!!
Last time I heard Bing has 36% desktop searching market share in US in 2019. In terms of digital ads spending, Google is 36% follow by Facebook with 19%. I am not a huge fan of Google but I don't really see how Google was dominating the market.
@DELTA en google itself puts out fairly unbiased opinions. The only "bias" they have is in believing science lol. While I'm not educated enough to comment on if Google has a monopoly or not I can say with certainty that they are not "censoring content that's not from the left and progressive". The only censoring they are doing is removing obviously fake and misleading facts or at the very least putting up a warning. This is similar to what twitter is doing with some of trumps tweets. They aren't censoring trump because of some agenda, they are flagging certain tweets of his because they are false, misleading, or inciting violence. The only reason that conservatives are getting hit with these flags and not liberals for the most part is because conservatives are the ones who are tweeting out all this misinformation.
@@topramen1295 Who do you think you are to say someone's opinion are false its just like if hitler had a platform under his control then he will sensor you because you said killing the jews is bad and will also say its false and misleading to the german people.

@Megatron EX1127 when you search something you will see 3 4 lines short results from big websites right on the google search itself so people dont go to those websites.so google this way don have to pay them with advertisments and people will still use google serch. If this is not in bad faith then i dont know what is.
This is just the tip of the iceberg.
@Megatron EX1127 Maybe your correct mabey not, Thats why there protected from law suits. Note you use the word censoring A neutral public platform dosn't censor or ban the right to free speech if the information is incorrect Google can not be sued if you think the information is false do not follow the information.
@@topramen1295 How would we know what is fake if the information is censored, Not everyone wants to take your or Googles word for it, Most people want freedom of choice It could reasonably be argued your post is obviously fake and misleading facts. I like many others respect and want to hear your opinion or point of view and that of others and reserve our right to judge for ourselves thru our own reseach what is fake or not
Why?
Americans are working and paying tax dollars everyday up to 80 hours a week in many instances; for the DOJ to run around suing everyone they please and especially if it happens to Please a President who doesn’t like to pay the same taxes and to do so at their personal request. So, why don’t we just hand over our checkbooks too? We will all possibly be homeless and starving before it’s over while we have been paying for their lawsuits we will have no one to look out for the people’s basic human rights, voting rights, rights to our tax dollars in times of crisis....we have no real President or DOJ we have some people taking advantage of the people’s tax dollars and we will be left to paying our own attorneys to sue the federal government for Discrimination and Embezzlement. How did we get here?!
This is really good news! I don't trust google tried to get rid of it from my phone and I couldn't now I know why. When I buy a product, I buy it to have full ownership of it, I want someone to be deciding what to leave on my phone.
It’s because the govs are planning something anyone can tell this is a Star Wars prequel moment
Google shafted Microsoft. Microsoft shafted Apple's GUI. Facebook shafted Instahram to sell. Apple shafted Samsung. Hauweii is laughing.
If Google and RUclips didn't manipulate search results so much, it wouldn't be as bad of a problem for the end-user...
They don’t manipulate. The algorithm learns what you search and personalises recommendations to you. Like this one for example
@@comradeofthebalance3147, I was already aware of that feature. Sorry, but I have used Google search and RUclips search long enough and for a wide enough variety of searches to know that on occasion, Google/RUclips is not giving me what I want and is doing so out of manipulation. In some of those cases, though, it is because the search engine is trying to guess what I want based on what others have wanted in the past instead of taking me at my word. Also keep in mind the switch that Google search did on preferred media outlets for stories on its front-page of search only a few years ago.
@@Emissionary That is true. And if you have done some experiments to get your hypothesis, I suppose it is safe to give you some credit
How is it "BAD"?
@@comradeofthebalance3147 Google needs to be stricter about how they operate their business. There are many cases of Google’s mistakes that I can point out. Let’s see:
1. Google Ads serving MLM, fake guru, expensive courses to startup and business enthusiasts, creating endless rip-offs and scams offers, easy money grab for opportunist
2. Google Ads serving mobile games with their addictive Gambling features, nonsense in-app purchases, in many cases comes with ridiculous prices for something worthless, targeting minorities.
3. Google ads serving ads to cloak websites designed to steal information, like your credit cards or prepaid gift cards, this is also an issue that is until now still unresolved.
Basically, there are many cases of google harming customers, as their end products. I have seen countless of them and I am sure you too. Another thing, they seem to ignore user feedback, I have tried clicking on their “not interested” feature and that just make the company I don’t want to see appear more often to the point of annoyance.
It’s just crazy.

Googleism yeah this is Google
Get a LIST of ALL THE BANNED & CENSORED WORDS in their Algorithms!!!
For EACH ONE that is NOT A CRIME TO SPEAK ABOUT they should be charged federally against the Constitution!
About time

Lawyers are hot.
I mean I already kinda knew what Google was doing, but I still feel violated in a way. How do we get compensation from this anti-trust lawsuit? I use incognito mode almost everyday.
Assuming this lawsuit sticks.
Incognito mode doesn't hide anything from anyone besides yourself. YOU no longer have a list of browsing history on your end, but your ISP, your search engine, and your browser all may still have logs of that data.
