"…thanks to internal memos published during last year's #monopoly trial against #Google, we know what they did. They made #search worse. They reduced the system's accuracy it so you had to search twice or more to get to the answer, thus doubling the number of queries, and doubling the number of #ads.

Meanwhile, Google entered into a secret, illegal collusive arrangement with #Facebook, codenamed #JediBlue, to rig the ad market, fixing prices so advertisers paid more and publishers got less." @pluralistic

So Google and Facebook's "Jedi Blue" collusion contract is finally public, and they actually explicitly included a termination clause for "the law found out about the contract".

When you create a contract that you explicitly know is illegal and has to have such a clause, everyone involved needs to go to prison. #Google #Facebook #JediBlue #Antitrust

#Google​n monopolioaren aurkako txostena benetan arduratzekoak diren hainbat gauza azaleratu ditu.

173 orrialdeak irakurri dituen batek dio "bietako bat, Googleri ederra datorkio edo gure gizarteari ederra datorkio, ikusiko dugu bietako zeini". Aipatzen dituen puntuetako bakoitza asko arduratzeko modukoa da:
