Comments on: Google admits to bowing to Biden censorship, and vows to end all bans https://behindtheblack.com/behind-the-black/points-of-information/google-admits-to-bowing-to-biden-censorship-and-vows-to-end-all-bans/ Thu, 25 Sep 2025 02:12:08 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Edward https://behindtheblack.com/behind-the-black/points-of-information/google-admits-to-bowing-to-biden-censorship-and-vows-to-end-all-bans/#comment-1623169 Thu, 25 Sep 2025 02:12:08 +0000 https://behindtheblack.com/?p=117593#comment-1623169 Blair Ivey asked: “What happened to ‘Don’t be evil?’”

The word “Don’t” got dropped during the employee handbook printing run, and no one remembered to tell the employees that the directive was the opposite of what was in the handbook.

Thus, “Don’t be evil” turned out to be an advertising slogan and was not followed by the employees.

[I must now apologize to my friends who work at Google, for my mean spirited, sarcastic comment.]

Google, the Department of Justice and the states proved that Google broke the law over the course of a bench trial that started in September 2023 and lasted nine weeks.
In August 2024, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia released a 277-page opinion, concluding that “Google is a monopolist, and it has acted as one to maintain its monopoly” in violation of Section 2 of the Sherman Act.”

“Under the remedies ordered today (September 2), Google will be barred from entering or maintaining exclusive contracts relating to the distribution of Google Search, Chrome, Google Assistant, and the Gemini app. Google cannot enter or maintain agreements that (1) condition the licensing of any Google application on the distribution, preloading, or placement of Google Search, Chrome, Google Assistant, or the Gemini app anywhere on a device; (2) condition the receipt of revenue share payments for the placement of one Google application on the placement of another Google application; or (3) condition the receipt of revenue share payments on maintaining Google Search, Chrome, Google Assistant, or the Gemini app on any device, browser, or search access point for more than one year; or (4) prohibit any partner from simultaneously distributing any other GSE, browser, or GenAI product.”
[The Judge however has declined to order the sale of the Chrome Browser or Android.]

Don’t kid yourself google is still evil.

Rumble! Or another alternative, whenever possible. De-platform tech tyrants. Don’t let them monetize us for pennies on the dollar, until the winds change again and we’re gone.

The bad guys still get latinum parachutes, but everyone else’s nest eggs would be threatened if stocks take a hit.

I’d settle for the executives be disappeared to the Comoros.

Tens of billions in damages plus punitive award.

Might as well.

That way, any censorship from the Continent will wear an urshanka as God and Beria intended.

The whole purpose of NATO was to keep Europa free. If they want to act like Ivan, let them deal with Ivan with their own monies–not mine.

Looks like Trump was right to defund Radio Free Europe after all. They weren’t listening.

Watch what they do and not what they say.
