Facebook stands to benefit (again) from US Gov't action against a tech company.
- rootsudo 6y agoThis is the most concerning factor - Facbook reach is tremendous across it's media platform and most people still do not associate WhatsApp or Instagram as Facebook properties, even though they literally updated the apps to say "By Facebook" on them. I do not know how to rate the governance or ethics of either company (FB/Alphabet.)
- ergocoder 6y agoUS/DOJ with no priorities. Off my head, there are a few other companies that are universally hated and definitely a monopoly wink wink ISP wink wink. But hey let's sue Google first to force them to share my personal data with its competitors. Wtf
- tehjoker 6y agoThe USG always works to make capitalism work for the consensus of the biggest companies (in this case, all of Google's pissed off rivals). Just work from that perspective and it will always make sense. I am always shocked when I see a decision at the federal level that does anything for anyone that isn't a bigco.
