Among a list of recommendations News Corp proposed to the competition watchdog for tackling the"harm" caused by digital platforms, it said Google should be made to sell off a part of its business. Even if the government in Canberra were to take News Corp's suggestion, it was not immediately clear how Australia could force the American tech giant to break up.Late last year, the Australian watchdog issued a preliminary report identifying concerns about the way digital platforms favor their own businesses. While the agency recommended greater scrutiny and regulatory oversight for how tech companies handle personal data and advertising services, it stopped short of suggesting divestment.
"The Preliminary Report bases many of its recommendations on the mistaken premise that Google has market power in search, search advertising, and news media referrals," the tech giant said, claiming that it faces"fierce competition."
Wait, Rupert Murdoch and Elizabeth Warren views coming into alignment? Heads are about to explode.
Google's been censoring and removing articles to mislead public for years. Wikipedia isn't any better when they insult, criticize,block you from editing an entry after a SCOTUS ruling found an individual guilty (again). 'They don't like negativity', doesn't matter if it's true.
Let’s make a deal. Break up Google if Fox stops gaslighting their viewers.
