Big Gov vs. Big Tech

DOJ Filing Anti-Trust Lawsuit Against Google

Earlier in the week, President Trump mentioned the Wall Street Journal was ‘working on a big story with big-tech. Now we know what that story is. The Department of Justice is holding a news conference this morning at 0945 est where it will announce it has filed a lawsuit in Washington, D.C. against Google for anti-trust.

About time,
And about time for FB and Twitter to be denied all protections from lawsuits.

If between the 2 giants, they conspired to shutdown the internet entirely....what next?
Negotiation may be the best path, in the best interest of everyone. War with the devil may damage more than it cures.

The DOJ needs to slay the dragon, not make nice with it. They need to be sued for very big bucks.

Facebook, Google, and Twitter can take themselves off the internet anytime they want by shutting down their servers.

But they don't have the ability to shut down all the other servers on the planet.

It won't happen, but if Facebook, Google, and Twitter did decide to shut down:

That would create a huge market opportunity.

There would be no shortage of tech companies doing everything in their power to be first to market and fill the need.

This just in....Twitter and Disgracebook are now blocking any posts of the actual VIDEO showing Biden say he was opposed to ALL fracking.

Never knew they were RUSSIAN companies.

And of course, Worm Williams, the lying little weasel/racist on FOX's the 5 is defending it.
