It’s interesting that only republican states are holding google accountable on all this.

That’s not quite true. The specific lawsuit from which these documents originate (related to ad tech) was filed by Republican states but the Justice Department’s antitrust division, led by a Biden appointment attorney, is involved and is preparing a second lawsuit. One of Biden’s stated goals is to tighten antitrust violations in tech.

There is also the other antitrust lawsuit related to the Playstore that were filed by blue and red states.

The other ones are welcoming the help of the blue Jedi… that’s how they “saved” the 2020 election.

Specifically, activist GOP states; some of the most corrupt politicians on the planet. I’m sure there’s actionable antitrust against Google, but this particular lawsuit is probably hot air.

We need each corrupt side to fight the other's corruption.

Isn't that part of the whole "we're being silenced!!11~~" nonsense they've got going on?

Is it nonsense? For a tech company to tell the news press that it isn’t allowed to talk about a pres candidate’s crackhead son two weeks before an election? When crackhead son mysteriously had a 400k/yr job from a foreign corporation? When there’s video of said pres candidate bragging about getting a prosecutor fired in that country where his crackhead son is paid 400k/yr?

What’s your definition of nonsense?

Perhaps it’s just nonsense that the supposed news press rolled over and played along because they didn’t want to lose their friends in the DoD and CIA?

It is nonsense?

Just a few months ago, facebook was banning people for the “lab leak theory,” and now it’s a widely accepted possibility.

Facebook bans people now for writing about vaccine side effects.
