The most interesting thing is the allegation of coordination between Google and Facebook on page 5, paragraph 12.
Waiting for when they realize there is a silent agreement between Amazon + Google + Facebook
and that they do coordinated attacks against their rivals
and also against any company that is growing quickly
It's not about the prices but the monopolization it attempts to break. If there is only a single entity dictating the prices in the market, then it doesn't matter what the price spectrum is - the motive is anti-free market
I'll add a few (while including a couple from this thread)
Let's see
1) Google Facebook - why was Google+ ignored and shut down
2) Why has Facebook never launched a search engine
3) Amazon + Google
Why has Google completely ignored books and not done anything?
They grew Chrome into #1 browser using Search dominance
Why the heck have they ignored books?
Why did they buy Oyster (the first ebook subscription service for Apple devices) and immediately shut it down
paving the way for Kindle Unlimited to become the dominant
4) Why did Amazon shut down A9 its search engine? Every other area they are willing to throw billions of dollars. In search engines they didn't even try
5) Amazon + Google
why is Google ignoring Shopping
why did Google buy one of the biggest AFfiliate Networks and then close it down
6) Amazon + Google
Why is Amazon so high up in search results for every single @##$ product review and product
Does it have to do with amount of money Amazon spends on Google Ads (which would also be illegal)
or a secret/silent agreement (even more illegal)
7) When companies or organization get attacked (such as corporate organizations) how is it that it is always a PINCER attack and always at the same time i.e.
Google will 'demonetize' the site at the same time as Youtube demonetizes the ads (Youtube is still owned by Google) as Paypal will kick out the site (separate company, acts in concert) as Twitter will block accounts
So 3 separate companies and 4 separate divisions all decide on EXACT SAME DAY to go after a company or a site
This playbook is used to attack both
a) republican/conservative sites
b) companies that are growing very fast
to that throw in Facebook
8) Why do fast growing companies that are a threat to ONE out of
Amazon, Google, Facebook
all suddenly face shadow bans AT THE SAME TIME from all three companies i.e.
products dropped in Amazon Store search
organic traffic from Google drops
Facebook reach drops
*
There is someone/something
World X Council or something
And some companies are apart of it
They have divided out parts of the Internet
And when someone is a threat to grow too big
ALL companies attack that fast growing companies
They have a hitlist of
10,000 or 5,000 companies to keep an eye on
and
500 biggest threats
and they go after these IN CONCERT
It's pretty clear (in the context of a monopoly complaint):
In March2017, Google’s largest Big Tech rival, Facebook, announced that it would throw its weight behind header bidding. Like Google, Facebook brought millions of advertisers on board to reach the users on its social network. In light of Facebook’s deep knowledge of its users, Facebook could use header bidding to operate an electronic marketplace for online ads in competition with Google. Facebook’s marketplace for online ads is known as “Facebook Audience Network” or FAN. Google understood the severity of the threat to its position if Facebook were to enter the market and support header bidding. To diffuse this threat, Google made overtures to Facebook. Internal Facebook communications reveal that [redacted]
and
In the end, Facebook curtailed its involvement with header bidding in return for Google giving Facebook information, speed, and other advantages in the auctions that Google runs for publishers’ mobile app advertising inventory each month in the United States. In these auctions, Facebook and Google compete head-to-head as bidders... [snip].. The parties agree on for how often Facebook would [redacted] publishers’ auctions—literally manipulating the auction with [redacted] for how often Facebook would bid and win.
From the first Google result for "antitrust law market division" (https://www.classlawgroup.com/antitrust/unlawful-practices/m...)
> In almost all circumstances a market allocation agreement will be illegal under antitrust law. Federal antitrust law treats a market allocation amongst competitors as a per se violation of the antitrust laws. Other types of potentially anticompetitive behavior are only illegal if their anti-competitive effects outweigh their pro-competitive efficiencies. But per se violations are automatic violations of federal antitrust law.
when two railroads were in competition and it was killing profits, they would sign a silent partnership and one would take upstate NY and the other would take NYC to other parts of NY
both made profits
