The administration doesn’t give a shit about the web, and DOJ is a fully political entity. They’ll extort Google for whatever concession they want, and Chrome will remain.
- g-b-r 2y agoThey'll demand half of Google's rare earths deposits
- tempodox 2y agoOr just the keys to total surveillance and suppression of web content they don't like.
- bilbo0s 2y agoWell now to be fair, total surveillance and suppression of any content they don't like is worth a whole lot more than rare earth deposits to a government.
- fragmede 2y agoWhy would they need to do that when they already have the formula down? How much have you been hearing about all the protests?
- bmacho 2y agoWhy wouldn't they? Also they have the have the formula because they've already done it. And it works, why wouldn't they want to keep doing it, but more?
- acdha 2y agoThings are going to get more heated as the voluntary economic downturn heats up. The current protests get some coverage but we’re starting to see even the loyalists realize that they won’t be spared, and that is likely to increase protests considerably.

- Spooky23 2y agoThe constitution establishes that a core role of government is to provide for the general welfare of the people, and public health is part of that. I’m generally in favor with government efforts to combat misinformation. I’m also fine with wartime propaganda within limits for similar reasons.
- whatwhaaaaat 2y agoAaaand that is why trump won.
- LexGray 2y agoI am not fine with war time propaganda. I want to know what the government is choosing to do and why. I am not against war and even the occasional puff piece about how sexy the latest military tech is sexy is fine. It still is necessary in this day and age to stomp those that strip others of human rights and lives, yet I cannot think of any military action since Vietnam I have felt comfortable that I have not been outright lied to about underlying causes, methods used, and the after affects. My full adult life it has seemed the government is convinced it is the Illuminati with a mandate to gaslight the public. That bad decisions don’t matter and no one is responsible seems like a horrible status quo when lives, the environment, and our tax dollars are at stake. 9/11 turned wartime propaganda into an excuse to strip freedoms that certain parties have been lusting after and no promises were kept about timelines for them being returned. When trust is abused to that extent the government should lose any rights to do so again.
- CaffeineLD50 2y agoGiven the dreadful state of public health this is a total fail. Epidemic obesity alone is a nightmare: heart disease, cancer, stroke, you name it. Trump, to his credit, is taking fentanyl seriously but heart disease is a bigger killer.
- victorbjorklund 2y agoYou are probably right.
- dehrmann 2y agoBiden or Trump administration? This remedy was originally proposed under Biden's DOJ.
- Spooky23 2y agoIt’s still around and the admin continued it. Biden’s DOJ was slooooooowly pursuing anti-trust more seriously. That’s not a Trump priority. So what’s the reason?
- libertine 2y agoGoogle would just need to buy many Trump coins on the next drop. If he ever got Russian money, that was a great opportunity for it.
