There’s no way this administration manages to do anything in the remaining 7 months. If they actually wanted to antitrust Google they would have started this in 2021. 2024 is too late, and this looks like a purely political play, perhaps to remind our corporate overlords to cut fatter checks to the relevant politicians. Nice business you got there, it’d be a shame if something happened to it.

- lolinder 2y agoThis particular case won't be affected by an administration change at all, and regardless, reining in Big Tech is a bipartisan issue and has been for some time. The DOJ's suit against Google that just concluded (US v. Google 2020) was filed in October 2020 by the Trump DOJ. A second Trump DOJ isn't going to pull the plug on a suit that they started. They may arrive at it from very different directions, but neither party in Washington right now is well disposed towards the modern gatekeepers of public discourse.
