  1. Smoke and mirrors. Anyone remotely attuned to what’s been happening these last few years–and attuned to human nature in general–has been able to see that the big tech firms compete with one another in the public limelight, then cooperate with one another behind closed doors. And with total complicity from the feds.

    This is just as much play-acting as it was during the Zuckerberg “trials” a few years ago, or that hilarious “whistle blower” woman who was basically just telling us the same stuff the Establishment pretends to be fighting with the help of exposés from their dear dear friends in legacy media. That whistleblower Frances Haugen received glowing coverage (so brave! so strong!) from the same media firms doing the exact muckraking she was stating while “testifying”. Here’s a hint: if CNN calls a person a courageous whistleblower, it’s a distraction so that CNN can help sweep under the rug some dirty deeds between corporate America, the members of Congress whose campaigns they finance, and CNN who gets a cut for providing the right degree of spin.

    Apple and Alphabet have been communicating for years. They work together to develop PR campaigns to create the illusion of competition. And the DOJ is the glue that helps hold it all together by pretending to come down hard…which the DOJ will never actually do because Google and Apple are instrumental to the continued success of the people currently in office.

  2. Good grief. It’s a search engine, not a thoracic surgeon.

    Google searches return far more results than Bing, Ducky Duck, or any other search engine that exists. If the user of any search engine used an ounce of critical thinking when looking at their results, they can assess for themselves if they are being manipulated or otherwise being unfairly treated.

    If they can’t do that critical thinking, nio amount of government regulation will protect them.
