Google will appear in court today against the Justice Department and a coalition of states alleging antitrust abuses

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 12, 2023
The proceedings got underway at 9:30 a.m., with both sides' opening statements taking place at 9:30 a.m., with the Justice Department being the other principal. The claims that the company misabused its dominance of search by pacing deals with wireless providers and smartphone manufacturers began by a veteran DoJ prosecutor who served on the government's last big monopoly case. Kenneth Dintzer, the company's lead litigator, said he and his staff had papers 'that match exactly' what Google did because the dealings made it so their search engine was the first thing users saw when they turned on their phones and browsers. He appeared in the court a 2007 case where a Google engineer said obtaining default search positions on Apple, LG, and Samsung devices could be a 'powerful strategic weapon' for the company's success - and a 'Achilles heel' for rivals. Google knowingly orchestrated those company dealings, with the intention of rigging the market and stomping out competitors in the process. Google, according to the government, participated in the campaign with the intention of stumbling out competition, while Google counters it faces a wide variety of competitors despite monopolizing nearly 90% of the internet search market. Google's case hinges on allegations that Google improperly orchestrated those company relations, rigging the market in the process. It's the government's first big monopoly case in a quarter-century, and the first in the modern internet age.

On New Zealand's pristine South Island, Peter Thiel, who is worth an estimated $7.7 billion, wanted to build a sprawling mansion with a spa, meditation pod, and library near Lake Wanaka. However, environmental activists and locals told him that removing our beautiful lake habitat would'destroy our beautiful lake habitat'. Thiel was refused planning permission on Thursday by Queenstown-Lakes district council on the grounds that it would'be of a sufficiently large scale and effect that it would draw the eye and be incorrectly dominant.'
