"…thanks to internal memos published during last year's #monopoly trial against #Google, we know what they did. They made #search worse. They reduced the system's accuracy it so you had to search twice or more to get to the answer, thus doubling the number of queries, and doubling the number of #ads.

Meanwhile, Google entered into a secret, illegal collusive arrangement with #Facebook, codenamed #JediBlue, to rig the ad market, fixing prices so advertisers paid more and publishers got less." @pluralistic

Un contrat de collusion nommé « Jedi Blue » (entre Google et Facebook) est enfin rendu public : il inclut explicitement une clause de résiliation si jamais « la justice prenait connaissance du contrat ».

Effectivement Bruxelles l'a appris et enquête

(Dans un monde normal, signer un tel contrat qu'on sait illégal enverrait les personnes impliquées en prison.)

So Google and Facebook's "Jedi Blue" collusion contract is finally public, and they actually explicitly included a termination clause for "the law found out about the contract".

When you create a contract that you explicitly know is illegal and has to have such a clause, everyone involved needs to go to prison. #Google #Facebook #JediBlue #Antitrust

⚖️ In the Google ad trial, a former Facebook ad executive testified that the company signed the 2018 Jedi Blue deal with Google due to its inability to compete with Google's "monopoly" in digital advertising. A critical moment in the antitrust case. 🏛️ #Antitrust #Google #Facebook #JediBlue #TechNews

Dans les indiscrets de Petit Web cette semaine, un résumé de #JediBlue, l'accord secret et illégal entre #Facebook et #Google. Effarant. https://www.petitweb.fr/indiscrets/les-indiscrets-du-25-octobre-2021/

#Google​n monopolioaren aurkako txostena benetan arduratzekoak diren hainbat gauza azaleratu ditu.

173 orrialdeak irakurri dituen batek dio "bietako bat, Googleri ederra datorkio edo gure gizarteari ederra datorkio, ikusiko dugu bietako zeini". Aipatzen dituen puntuetako bakoitza asko arduratzeko modukoa da:

Zelako eskandalua! #monopolioa #pribatutasuna #Facebook #JediBlue #ProjectNERA #Chrome #Microsoft

And the world will soon be governed by Google and Facebook.
