After Trump Rants, Top GOP Senator Asks FTC to Re-Open Google Antitrust Probe
https://gizmodo.com/after-trump-rants-top-gop-senator-asks-ftc-to-re-open-1828724049 On Thursday, Senator Orin Hatch asked the Federal Trade Commission to take another look at whether Google is guilty of antitrust violations and unfair competitive practices. The president is always in search of a new enemy to spar with, and this week he started laying into Google, saying that it only provides negative news about him when you search his name and that it failed to promote his State of the Union addresses on its homepage the way it did for President Obama. Google denied the first accusation and smacked down the second with evidence. But the thing about Trump's bluster is that it can make others feel like they have an opening to legitimately go after his targets. - - - ALSO: "How the Alt-Right Plans to Control Google" - https://lauren.vortex.com/2017/09/29/how-the-alt-right-plans-to-control-google --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): https://www.vortex.com/lauren Lauren's Blog: https://lauren.vortex.com Google Issues Mailing List: https://vortex.com/google-issues Founder: Network Neutrality Squad: https://www.nnsquad.org PRIVACY Forum: https://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: https://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Google+: https://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: https://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 _______________________________________________ nnsquad mailing list https://lists.nnsquad.org/mailman/listinfo/nnsquad
