Twitter produces awesome data about the idea: “Confidence is often an adequate substitute for expertise.” Always has.

Here’s the sentence Google wanted to hide: “Our bundle of search results and ads drives dominant market share!” Simple remedy: Unbundle search results from search ads.

Absolute joy to witness the closing arguments in the search ads antitrust trial. Super impressed by the clarity and precision of arguments and evidence offered by the DoJ’s David Dahlquist. USA! Matt Stoller Jason Kint

States pushing for discovery on discovery of Google around its alleged destruction of evidence … arguably should be criminal. 1/2

Great day for both capitalism and democracy!

My thoughts on the Google search antitrust trial a couple weeks ago podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ade…

Reading today’s ruling, it’s clear: by the end of this decade, going to a search engine results page will seem quaint. This decision sets the stage for a remedy that will dramatically improve the search experience for everyone connected to the web.
