Shocker: Google Funding "Conservatives" Who Then Write Articles Defending Google, Which Are Then Cited by Google as Arguments Not to Regulate Google or Treat It as a MonopolyMuh Private Googles Monopoly.
All your suspicions are true. At Wired: LEAKED AUDIO REVEALS GOOGLE'S EFFORTS TO WOO CONSERVATIVES He explained that the "crush phase" of the public's attitude towards Monster Tech was over, and that people might start talking about enforcing the actual law that is on the books regarding monopolies, which is what Google undeniably is -- in case you didn't know, antitrust law does not apply only to true monopolies, where there is literally not a single competitor, but to near-monopolies, where the company has 85% or more dominance. Google's market share of the search industry? 90%. If "conservatives" want to change antitrust law, then they should change antitrust law. But they must not be permitted to pretend it doesn't exist and simply argue for nonenforcement of the law, as Obama did with DACA. Are we a nation of laws or a nation of corporate interests who pay "conservatives" a lot of money to see those interests advanced, largely behind the scenes? Funny how these TruCons are so very selective about what Eternal Conservative Principles they are actually willing to defend. James Pethokoukis, author of the AEI post, told WIRED he hasn't been at CPAC in years and denied being influenced by anyone at AEI about what to write. CEI says it "consistently" opposes enforcement of on-the-books antitrust law. AEI itself did not respond, nor did the scholar whose "studies" Google quoted in support of itself. Maybe we can ask Jonah Goldberg to give them a ring-a-ding. He sits in AEI's "Asnet Chair for the Promotion of Conservative Conservation Concerns" or whatever. Maybe the Asnet Chair for Freedom, Eagles, Liberty and Freedom. Kovacevich also spoke about Google's efforts to "water down" two bills Google opposed which would make Tech Monsters liable for lawsuit in sex-trafficking and child porn cases in which their services had been used to conduct the business, SESTA and FOSTA. He spoke very highly of Representative Bob Goodlatte: He said negotiations over the bill showed how Google sometimes works with people who do not "align 100 percent with our views." He pointed to Representative Bob Goodlatte (R-Virginia), whom he called "one of our most helpful champions" on protecting internet companies. Aw, Monster Tech really needs your help being protected from lawsuits that no one else in the country is protected from, Bobby. Thank you for your service. Whoever it is you actually serve. More on this subject later today. | Recent Comments
