| Media Company Files Antitrust Lawsuit Against Google, Facebook |
| 2021-02-02 |
Get those lawsuits in now, guys. Between the hours of insider recordings shared by Project Veritas, and Democratic threats to stuff the Supreme Court and beyond, the judicial landscape will become increasingly interesting over the next four years. [EpochTimes] A West Virginia media company that operates several newspapers is suing Google and Facebook for threatening the extinction of local newspapers across the country by their alleged anticompetitive business practices.HD Media on Jan. 29 filed a lawsuit asking a federal court to determine whether the two Silicon Valley companies had violated antitrust laws. The lawsuit claims Google has unlawfully exercised monopoly power of the digital advertising market, which has prevented newspapers from competing in the market and losing their primary source of revenue. It also claims that Google and Facebook had "unlawfully conspired to engage in anticompetitive conduct" through an alleged secret deal nicknamed "Jedi Blue." Details of the alleged agreement were first revealed when 10 state attorneys general sued Google for multiple violations of federal and state antitrust and consumer protection laws. |

| #1 Louder with Crowder is Suing Facebook Expect a suit against Google too. Youtube demonetized his channel. The suit will be filed and publicly available this week. It will be filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The causes of action under state law include unfair competition and false advertising. The key remedy is injunctive relief (stop unfair/deceptive acts). We're also seeking seven-figure monetary damages. The goal here is forcing honesty and clarity in policy application and enforcement. Our broader point is that we are pro-business but anti-fraud. Facebook lured consumers and creators to spend money and provide data and views under the promise of not engaging in political, racial or religious bias in enforcing their policies, but they have done so both expressly and secretively, and hence, the suit. |
