Unless Google happens to make fat campaign donations or post-office job offers to elected officials who can insure WEI becomes mandated for banks.
In the face of this, what banks want won't matter much.
- JohnFen 3y agoIf Google wants to force WEI to become common, all they really have to do is mandate that sites have to implement WEI in order to be listed in their index.

- tremon 3y agoAre you saying the outcome of previous antitrust cases (especially against big tech) hurt those businesses sufficiently that they act as a deterrent? It doesn't look that way from my position here in the peanut gallery.
- WarOnPrivacy 3y agoI absolutely agree. I was making the case for how Google could manipulate a theoretically-resistant banking industry. I get banking is regulated from a variety of directions. However, the path of lobbyist influence->federal manipulation is so well worn it impacts many (probably most) exertions of power.
