DOJ Announces Antitrust Probe Into Social Media Companies

From artisinal 'ette, this from the WSJ alert:

Justice Department to Open Broad, New Antitrust Review of Big Tech Companies

The Justice Department is opening a broad antitrust review into whether dominant technology firms are unlawfully stifling competition, according to department officials, adding a new Washington threat for companies such as Facebook, Google, Amazon and Apple.

A little flashback, and possibly a preview, of National Review's position, as noted by John Nolte:

As Breitbart News reported in February, Google’s CEO confirmed that his company donated money to the National Review Institute, the nonprofit behind National Review.

Lowry defended the company that donated to his publication’s institute without disclosing the donation to readers:

[Sen. Elizabeth Warren] calls out Google for allegedly killing off its competitors by burying them in its searches. It’s not obvious that Google actually does this, although its search business inherently involves constantly making choices to try to best serve what people want to see. No government regulator is going to make Google's searches better, or is qualified to even try.

I hope National Review will at least have the integrity to disclose it is funded by Google when they begin making The Conservative Case for Censoring Conservatives and Driving Them Completely From the Public Square.

Related: Project Veritas has another video coming tomorrow, which of course Google will censor.

Also related, vaguely: Ted Cruz demanded that FBI director Wray open an investigation into Antifa for criminal RICO activities. Wray will of course ignore this. Antifa is the left's paramilitaries, so they are untouchable.
