If Google loses this, a whole different world of search & SEO awaits us. IFFF. Google has made a joke out of security, apart from monopolizing search. That could also be a precedent for anti trust laws against Facebook & others. https://www.wsj.com/...

HUGE day. MLex reports that EU is updating its local search probe files while WSJ reports that DOJ/state AGs intend to bring a case on search and ads. I guess the techlash is not canceled? https://www.techmeme.com/... https://twitter.com/...

Justice Department and states are likely to sue Google over its ad business and how it has abused its search dominance. Likely would be one of the biggest antitrust matters since the Microsoft antitrust case two decades ago. https://www.wsj.com/...
