… and must share search data with rivals.

What does it mean exactly?

sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al on 03 Sep 20:17 next collapse

Nothing. I expect a lawsuit at some point that complains that nothing useful is being shared.

It means the “Justice Department won against Google today” is a bullshit complicit victory that clears google from ever being attacked on monopolistic grounds again by double jeopardy because the justice department is run by incompetent fools

Here’s the recipe for ice cubes. There, we shared our data.

Edit hers to here’s.

Well, tbh, it would be nice for it to stay compact and sink all together. Browser, ads, search engine, all of it.

What would you say is the benefit to the consumer of common ownership here?

beebanoo@beehaw.org on 03 Sep 18:53 collapse

Oh, that is a tough question. I think it depends on the consumer - for people like me, who value privacy above other stuff, this is not great news. But there are people in this world that find value in the integrated system Google provide.

Anyway, my comment was more of a joke than a actual opinion on the matter.

So could I claim to be a rival and get data shared to me

No, just corporation with the pockets to take them to court,
It’s about the giants dividing the pie between them, not with you
You don’t get pie, you’re diner
