You couldn’t make this up. This idiot & charlatan introduced the totally unwarranted voterID law.

Every MP who voted for the law should be ashamed. It is a barrier to voting. Repeal the law. Vote the #ToriesOut

Rt Hon Johnny Mercer I'm a veteran. Perhaps your party should not have proposed, and MPs should not have voted for, an unnecessary law that suppresses voter participation.

'Around 4% of all non-voters said they didn’t vote because of the voter ID requirement' electoralcommission.org.uk/research-repor… repeal the law

I hope the Electoral Commission is looking into these examples of voters being denied the right to vote.

A totally unwarranted and disproportionate law. Repeal it.

Thread capturing some of the closing arguments today.

🍎/G deals was discussed next, with the DOJ arguing that 🍎 wanted the 'option, not obligation' to set G as the Safari default and that the deal deterred them from continuing their own Safari Suggests search capabilities.

Your party tried to gerrymander. You did this.

Judge: 'is there any real competition for that default slot? Give me one example'. Quite.

This is the same BS Apple has given me.

But Judge Mehta isn't buying it so fast. He goes on to say: 'The average person would not say that Google or Amazon are the same.' People can go to Google & get answers for any questions they have. 'How is it possible that Google is the same as other specialized search engines?'

According to Macwelt, iOS 17.5 will fix the tracking issue caused by the marketplace URI scheme:

MPs from the Conservatives Party are clearly soooo embarrassed that they're a Tory MP, that many do not state in their Twitter bios which political party they represent.

This is pretty damning. Google had a practice of illegally preventing disclosure of business records in the Justice Department's monopoly case by looping in counsel for 'fake privilege.' #USvGoogle

Judge Mehta wisely observing that Google's ability to degrade search quality without suffering any appreciable loss of users is evidence of monopoly power, even if unexercised. #USvGoogle

Of the series “competition is just one click away” if you are “the best search 🔍 engine in the world 🌍” consumers will come and choose you anyway no?
