"I've been taking companies to Washington where they've complained about Google for a long time and there were politicians blocking it once, but the blockers aren't there anymore," Reback said. "I don't know if it's the Trump administration that triggered it exactly but it could have been what broke the dam." - Gary Reback, http://www.carrferrell.com/attorneys/gary-reback http://www.carrferrell.com/attorneys/gary-reback "The last time that technology companies faced this kind of scrutiny was Google's antitrust investigation, or the now twenty-one year old lawsuit brought by the Justice Department and multiple states against Microsoft. But times have changed since Google had its hearing before a much friendlier audience of regulators under President Barack Obama. These days, Republican and Democratic lawmakers are both making the case that big technology companies hold too much power in American political and economic life. Issues around personal privacy, economic consolidation, misinformation and free speech are on the minds of both Republican and Democratic lawmakers." - Techcrunch If no investigation has been announced and no case has been filed, is there a document hold? If not, these "threats" may be signalling these companies to find and destroy incriminating evidence, and giving them the time to do it.
