Google loses (pending appeal ) a major antitrust suit. A  federal judge sided with the Justice Department and against Google, ruling that the search giant "is a monopolist" and acted illegally in order to maintain its search engine dominance. If this ruling fails to get tossed out from an appeal process, it can lead to more competition in the search engine space, we might also see new players rising with AI and Quantum Computing to add firepower to searches. For a small monetary consideration I can show the easiest way to make a windfall profit from this development. Potential remedies include a structural breakup and ending the exclusive agreements Google makes with Apple and other partners. The latter could be devastating for Google's search business. A big win for new AI technology ventures and Quantum Computing.

I've been thinking a lot about Google lately after talking to some CEOs who run their businesses on Google Suite. The TDLR: Google / Gemini is going to take a huge portion of the enterprise AI market. I guess no surprise there, but in public / press sentiment (and even at times in stock price) Google has felt behind - it didn't have the shiny ChatGPT launch, the killer CEO like Microsoft, etc. But as my friend Adam reminded me this week, Google has the compute (literally 5+ nuclear power plants of energy worth), has some of the best talent on the planet in Google DeepMind, owns the full stack end-to-end (from the OS with Android, to the hardware), and controls the entry-point for search. If they are able to get their claws into the "internal" enterprise search with Gemini they will own search even more tightly than they do today. Which is why this summer's anti-trust verdict is worth keeping a close eye on. Not just for Google, but for how we approach building the next Google(s) #ai #Google #software https://lnkd.in/g3zuanAN

A federal court’s decision to side with the Department of Justice (DOJ) and most states against Google has opened up a Pandora’s box of questions about the future of antitrust enforcement in the tech sector. The case has sparked debates about the relevance of century-old laws like the Sherman Act and the applicability of past antitrust rulings, such as the landmark Microsoft case, to today’s technology behemoths. As someone who has witnessed the evolution of the tech industry over the past two decades, I find it crucial to dissect the nuances of this case and explore its potential ramifications.

Trump gave Google the SPINE-CHILLING news: “This is an ILLEGAL ACTIVITY…I will request [Google’s] prosecution, at the maximum levels, when I win the Election” We have news for you - Big Tech will NOT be above the law!!! The fake news media spins up enough deceitful lies about Trump. But Big Tech has worked alongside the radical left to suppress positive stories about our beloved President Trump! It’s clear the Silicon Valley elite have thrown everything they’ve got behind Kamala! Now they’re PANICKING! Mark Zuckerberg already admitted to CENSORING conservatives at the directive of Biden. Big Tech has the unprecedented power to help shape the thoughts and minds of our next generation. If we allow only one side of the narrative, America’s future is truly at risk. Free speech is DESTROYED and Democracy is OVER! This is election interference. Trump’s words could mean a prosecution for these corrupt giants when he takes back the White House! We’re assembling a mass patriot response to prove there are thousands of patriots who support holding Big Tech accountable by whatever means necessary!

Missouri has launched an investigation into Google regarding allegations of censoring conservative speech. This inquiry could play a pivotal role in shaping the future of free speech and tech regulation. As digital platforms increasingly become the primary venues for public discourse, concerns about bias and censorship have come to the forefront of political and social debates. The investigation seeks to understand whether Google is indeed suppressing certain viewpoints, which could have significant implications for how tech companies are regulated and held accountable. This case highlights the ongoing tension between tech giants' content moderation policies and the principles of free expression. What are your thoughts on this issue? Do you think tech companies should have more oversight, or is this a necessary step to maintain a safe online environment?

As the major technology companies have reached new levels of scale and dominance, we have seen the rise of legal challenges to them on many levels. This week we saw one of the biggest challenges reach a new stage. A federal judge ruled that Google has acted as a monopolist and violated the Sherman Act. This received a lot of headlines, and some think it may lead to major changes. We had many readers ask us about this and we give our views in this issue of HX Daily here… https://lnkd.in/e2TMMz6k

Insightful post. AI is already a powerful tool. I believe us marketers should be studying how to use it, and all it's forms, as soon as possible. But only if we use it as a tool. Not a one-trick pony to solve all problems. - - - #ai #progress #BIRGing

Ah, yes, that guy from the quantification department strikes again! Just your everyday $20 decillion fine - definitely a realistic, well-thought-out figure. Maybe Google can start a GoFundMe?! An unprecedented fine, to say the least - $20 decillion far surpasses even the world’s total GDP by an astronomical amount. This ruling highlights the intensifying clash between tech platforms and regulatory bodies under strained international relations. While largely symbolic, it underscores the need for tech companies to navigate ever more complex geopolitical landscapes, particularly when upholding policies that intersect with sanctions and media regulations. It's interesting to see how Google will respond, especially considering the scale of enforcement challenges here. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gHsbhhWw
