A Justiça dos EUA tomou hoje uma das mais importantes decisões da história recente da Internet. O juiz Amit P. Mehta afirmou, em uma decisão de quase 300 páginas, que o @google abusou de sua posição monopolista sobre o negócio de buscas ao pagar para Apple e Samsung inserirem seu mecanismo de pesquisa como padrão em dispositivos e navegadores.

Este é um marco que pode servir de precedente para casos similares em outros países.

Sweet jesus!

Try searching for "decentralized social network" on some search engines and you will be SWAMPED with #cryptoshit, and "#blockchain" stuff... and i'm protesting this as a frog who is mostly supportive of #bitcoin btw.

The (-) minus sign is heavily underrated for #webSearching.

You can eliminate results from sites you don't like by simply prepending a #minusSign to the site descriptor.

The following removes common cloudFlare and #amazon results from a #CSS search:

Is it time to adopt a #newInternet?

#Tor and #i2p can help us cut through the #corporateState #narratives. Even if we don't use Tor. Using services like #Searx for #webSearching and #invidious for #videoAccess we can help to break the existing power structure.

How we use #technology affects us.

#Protesting is not enough. We also need to #network, #educate, #organise #engage with powerholders and #disobey where needed. We need to get #NEOED.

Smarter use of tech can get us there faster.
