  1. #Disenshittify, NOW!! We have a chance: #IP!!

    "…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

  2. #Google #Facebook #JediBlue #AbusDePositionDominante

    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.)

  7. 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

  8. ⚖️ 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

  9. CW: Long thread/29

    Some of those rackets are well-known, like #JediBlue, the market-rigging conspiracy that Google and Facebook colluded on:

    But thanks to the antitrust trial, we're learning about more of these. #MeganGray - ex-#FTC, ex-#DuckDuckGo - 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.

  10. CW: Long thread/12

    Facebook and Google illegally colluded to rig the ad-market with a program called #JediBlue that let the companies steal from both advertisers and media companies:

    Apple blocked Facebook's surveillance on its mobile devices, but increased its own surveillance of #Iphone and #Ipad users in order to target ads to them, even when those users explicitly opted out of spying:

  11. CW: Long thread/16

    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.

    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 #JediBlue:

    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:
