I find it disturbing that everyone acts like it's normal that private correspondence gets leaked and now is discussed in public.
What gives you the right to read those emails?
- stinkytaco 5y agoThese emails are part of the public record [1], subpoenaed on behalf of the House Judiciary Committee's Investigation of Competition in Digital Markets [2].

- 6ue7nNMEEbHcM 5y agoThanks for providing this background. Still somehow it feels not right to read it. But I suppose it may be some cultural difference. In country I live in correspondence secrecy is a constitutional right, so maybe people value it differently.
- stinkytaco 5y agoI don't know that American's don't value it, it's not like everyone's emails are part of the public record after all. The HJC has (probably good) reason to believe that large companies are engaging in anti-competitive practices and it's their responsibility to investigate that and this is one of the major tools to do so.
