From Google's point of view - this is a worthwhile origination fee. If you lose the entire "default" iOS population, you could lose a generation of minds in a key market (US mobile users).
The more people dissociate "search" with "google it", the less Google makes on their larger non-iOS search revenue.
- doctorpangloss 3y agoThe ad ecosystem is pretty complex. While you and I have opinions about it, and Google's business model, the problem with the DoJ is: it does NOT have opinions about advertising. It doesn't seem to have a coherent grip on the WHY behind this stuff at all, it seems to forget that courts legislate all the time, that opinions matter. Maybe instead of courtroom antics and bullshit about making Google look bad; and maybe instead of narrowly focusing on the case law and quote enquote winnable that's-how-the-law-works arguments... they should go and pitch a persuasive opinion on why any of this shit matters. Because they're leaving an intellectual vacuum to be filled by fucking podcasters, all but guaranteeing the DoJ will lose.
