Takeaway From the Google Verdict: GAFAM Has Too Much Control (Even Over the US Government and Courts With Government Appointees)
US District Judge Amit Mehta is a political appointee, whose grasp of technology is weak:
Old: Microsoft influence in the United States government
Recent: Microsoft Hiring European Politicians is Another Form of Bribery; There Should be a European Investigation | Microsoft Bribes and Buys Politicians to Tell Europe What to Do About Free Software (Which It's Attacking)
Related: Microsoft Has Bought the District Courts, Too (the Case or the Example of Jacqueline Scott Corley) | If 'Microsoft v Techrights' is Dealt With by a 'Microsoft Court' (or a Court Outsourced to Microsoft)
There's no lack of media coverage about the very long verdict on Google (in the US). We probably can't add much that hasn't been said already. Another element is slopfarms; lots of "media coverage" about the issue will be botspam. Google actively promotes botspam, even in Google News, which is full of botspam.
Hours before the verdict we published: Google's Chrome Passes 70% and Web Standards Are Dying
Many people feel disappointed but hardly surprised by the verdict. Some companies just have way too much political power and they even bribe the rulers. █
