FairSearch a Microsoft Front Group, Designed to Incite Politicians Against Google
Summary: More Microsoft-funded lie tellers, whose purpose is to unleash antitrust action against Google, get unmasked
TECHRIGHTS has spent a considerable amount of time exposing anti-Google groups which are funded by Microsoft. Sometimes these are one-man (or woman) entities, e.g. Ben Edelman.
Microsoft often uses “consultant” trick for passing a bribe and FairSearch seems to be one such example. To quote:
But Athey isn’t just a professor. She’s also a consultant to Microsoft and has the role of Microsoft’s chief economist. The Microsoft connections weren’t listed next to her name on the agenda, but at least they were made clear in her introduction to those at the event.
Microsoft is using lies again. As the author notes: “That’s not true. Not only is it not true, it’s impossible. It’s impossible because Android code is released to anyone to do anything that they want with. But if just being impossible isn’t enough proof, how about proof of Android devices that have dropped Google as the default search engine?”
Amazon put Bong inside Android. Others too put other search engines in Android, so clearly it is not verboten, it is just disgusting when Microsoft spying is put in place in exchange for kickbacks. █

Roy, I have a minor editorial question, and I’m not trying to be difficult… this is an honest question. In the summary, does ‘lie tellers’ have a better fit than the more concise ‘liars?’ I’m not being critical, but curious.
Regards.

Like all articles, I wrote this between sets at the gym and at the time, if I recall correctly, I wanted to write “mouthpieces” but thought it would sound more juvenile.
