We have a chance: <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/IP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IP</span></a>!!</p><p>"…thanks to internal memos published during last year's <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/monopoly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>monopoly</span></a> trial against <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Google</span></a>, we know what they did. They made <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/search" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>search</span></a> 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 <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ads</span></a>.</p><p>Meanwhile, Google entered into a secret, illegal collusive arrangement with <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Facebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Facebook</span></a>, codenamed <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/JediBlue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JediBlue</span></a>, to rig the ad market, fixing prices so advertisers paid more and publishers got less." <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mamot.fr/@pluralistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>pluralistic</span></a></span> <br><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/adtech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>adtech</span></a><br><a href="https://pluralistic.net/2025/02/26/ursula-franklin/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">pluralistic.net/2025/02/26/urs</span><span class="invisible">ula-franklin/</span></a></p>
ocdtrekkie<p>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".</p><p>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. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Google</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Facebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Facebook</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/JediBlue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JediBlue</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Antitrust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Antitrust</span></a></p>
Cory Doctorow<p>Some of those rackets are well-known, like <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/JediBlue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JediBlue</span></a>, the market-rigging conspiracy that Google and Facebook colluded on:</p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jedi_Blue" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jedi_Blu</span><span class="invisible">e</span></a></p><p>But thanks to the antitrust trial, we're learning about more of these. <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/MeganGray" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MeganGray</span></a> - ex-<a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/FTC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FTC</span></a>, ex-<a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/DuckDuckGo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DuckDuckGo</span></a> - was in the courtroom last week when evidence was presented on Google execs' panic over a decline in "ad generating searches" and the sleazy gimmick they came up with to address it. </p><p>29/</p>
Cory Doctorow<p>Facebook and Google illegally colluded to rig the ad-market with a program called <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/JediBlue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JediBlue</span></a> that let the companies steal from both advertisers and media companies:</p><p><a href="https://techcrunch.com/2022/03/11/google-meta-jedi-blue-eu-uk-antitrust-probes/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">techcrunch.com/2022/03/11/goog</span><span class="invisible">le-meta-jedi-blue-eu-uk-antitrust-probes/</span></a></p><p>Apple blocked Facebook's surveillance on its mobile devices, but increased its own surveillance of <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/Iphone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Iphone</span></a> and <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/Ipad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ipad</span></a> users in order to target ads to them, even when those users explicitly opted out of spying:</p><p><a href="https://pluralistic.net/2022/11/14/luxury-surveillance/#liar-liar" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">pluralistic.net/2022/11/14/lux</span><span class="invisible">ury-surveillance/#liar-liar</span></a></p><p>12/</p>
Cory Doctorow<p>It gave those advertisers a great deal, charging a pittance to target ads based on the dossiers of nonconsensually harvested personal data they'd stolen from you. </p><p>Sellers became dependent on Facebook, too, unable to carry on business without access to those targeted pitches. That was Facebook's cue to jack up ad prices, stop worrying so much about ad fraud, and to collude with Google to rig the ad market through an illegal program called <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/JediBlue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JediBlue</span></a>: </p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jedi_Blue" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jedi_Blu</span><span class="invisible">e</span></a></p><p>16/</p>
