U.S. regulators want a federal judge to break up #Google to prevent the company from continuing to squash competition through its dominant search engine after a court found it had maintained an abusive monopoly over the past decade.

Reading all the #google #antitrust case updates and they are glorious!

Since #Google #Chrome decided to limit developers and users in terms of what extensions they can run, and how good they are, I think it's time to place that browser where it belongs (in the bin), and replace it with anything else, since everything else is better.

Here is a look at some popular browsers, and some new ones I hadn't tried and that suitably impressed me:

Can someone help me form an opinion on the #DOJ wanting to force #Google to sell #Chrome. Is there a tldr on the expected consequences of this? :boost_love:

#DuckDuckGo calls for #EU to widen its Digital Markets Act probe of #Google - https://techcrunch.com/2024/11/20/duckduckgo-calls-for-eu-to-widen-its-digital-markets-act-probe-of-google/ "claiming the search giant is in breach of several areas where the bloc has yet to formally probe the company’s compliance." #dma

Despite my strong differences with many of the decisions made by #Google over recent years, I can't emphasize enough what an utter disaster for the privacy and security of ordinary users most of the DOJ "remedies" being suggested to the judge in the Google antitrust case would be. I can't figure out if DOJ just isn't considering these issues in their rush to create "competition" in a manner that wouldn't actually help ordinary consumers at all -- and more likely just cause them more tech-related problems and confusion -- or if the folks at DOJ working on this simply don't really understand the technical realities involved.

SECRET CODE CRACKED! Artists who signed their work during the Renaissance often used SECRET HANDLES, like a hidden signature within the artwork itself! One example is Rembrandt's 'Self-Portrait', which contains a tiny, almost invisible inscription that reveals his name! #Rembrandt #SecretSignatures

AI search can destroy civil society.

It is a weapon for the rich to control and divide populations by creating an unreliable and false reality that divides and conquers.
