I am for any law or policy that hurts Google. And I really don’t care whether it’s fair or unfair.

I’m not sure any two companies have caused more worldwide carnage, in the history of the world, than FB and Google.

This is an idiotic attitude when the law is purely for the purposes of benefiting NewsCorp, who have surely done even worse.

If it gave consumers a better outcome, then maybe, but it won't.

It’s not about choice. It’s about destroying Google as a company. They are a spyware business that have destabilized the entire internet economy.

I'd say News Corp (Fox News, Sky News, NY Post, etc.) ranks pretty high on the list of damaging companies, and this law was clearly written to benefit them.
