#Google found #Liable ( aka #Guilty for corporations) in online #advertising market monopolization case brought during #Biden term. This is the third recent loss in series of long running #litigation attacks on $GOOG market dominance brought by army of lawyers from #USDOJ ...

Detailed opinion left by Judge Loenie Brinkema outlines not only corporate malfeasance but even legal improprieties used by #Alphabet and it's highly paid #defense team, including several partners of firms known for ties to top #DemocratParty operatives.

Today, Judge Loenie Brinkema, in a detailed opinion, ruled that Google is an unlawful monopolist that controls the software used by publishers to manage online ads as well as the exchanges used to buy and sell them. of the Sherman Act. With the benefit of a three-week bench trial and extensive post-trial filings, the Court finds that Plaintiffs have failed to prove that there is a relevant market for open-web display advertiser ad networks, but have proven that Google has violated Section 2 of the Sherman Act by willfully acquiring and maintaining monopoly power in the open-web display publisher ad server market and the open-web display ad exchange market, and has unlawfully tied its publisher ad server (DFP) and ad exchange (AdX) in violation of Sections 1 and 2 of the ShermanAct. Having found Google liable, the Court will set a briefing schedule and hearing date to determine the appropriate remedies for these antitrust violations. L. Procedural History

The suit, filed by fmr DC AG Karl Racine after similar challenges from police & lawmakers, marked the 1st effort by a govt agency to hold individuals & orgs civilly #liable for the #violence on #Jan6. A federal judge in Washington granted the District’s request to dismiss the case Fri.

The suit was fashioned after a modern version of an 1871 #law known as the #KuKluxKlan Act, which was enacted after the Civil War to safeguard govt ofcls carrying out their duties & protect #CivilRights.

That article was irresponsibly written by @nickgillespie. It's unbalanced, ignoring issues in order to make his point. He never mentions issues that should make #DonaldTrump ineligible to be #POTUS: he's a #convictedFelon, he's been #twiceImpeached, & he's a #rapist, found #liable for #sexualAssault. Also, he's a #racist, a #liar (more than the political norm), a #coward, & a #dotard.
Whatever faults you say #KamalaHarris has, she'd be a better POTUS.

For many American #women — most of whom appeared to be supporting #Harris — it was a defeat infused w/despair: A #female candidate lost for the 2nd time in 8yrs & just 2yrs after #AbortionRights were stripped away in many states.

Particularly brutal was the victory of an opponent w/a long & troubling history on #gender: #Trump was held #liable for #SexualAbuse & has bragged about groping women on tape. At least 17 women have accused him of #SexualAssault.

The Feb #civil court ruling that #Trump was #liable for business #fraud has largely receded from headlines as the presidential race enters its final stage. But he faces continued scrutiny from #BarbaraJones, a seasoned fmr judge whom the court has granted X-ray vision into the finances of Trump’s business for the next 3 years, through the Nov election & possibly into a 2nd Trump term.

…In Friday’s post, #Trump also raised objections to #ABC serving as #moderator, even though he previously accepted the network’s role. Trump referenced a lawsuit against ABC accusing host George Stephanopoulos of defaming him by misstating a jury verdict in a #NewYork trial that found the fmr president #liable for #SexualAbuse. A federal judge in #Florida said in July that the case could proceed.

[except for the #fact that a #jury did find him liable for sexual abuse]

What former President #Trump's conviction means, is that even a former #President isn't above the laws of the United States, and he can be held #criminally #liable for the #crimes he has committed.

This isn't a very high standard we are holding the former President to. As a matter of fact, it's the same standard we hold all people to. If the #Republicans cannot understand that, it's their fucking problem. Deal with it in an adult way, please.

The bill, signed into #law >3 wks after the #AlabamaSupremeCourt ruled that #FrozenEmbryos are people & individuals could be held #liable for destroying them, gives #criminal & #civil #immunity “for death or damage to an #embryo” related to #IVF. The unprecedented ruling alarmed #medical professionals & #ReproductiveRights advocates, who warned it would jeopardize IVF access. Several #Alabama providers halted IVF treatments w/in days of the decision.

#Trump, the luckiest politician who ever lived

A federal judge has declared him #liable for #rape. He faces paying a half-billion dollars in #legal judgments for #fraud & #defamation. 2X #impeached, then defeated for reelection, he has been charged w/ 91 #felonies. He has been #arrested & his mug shot published; he will spend much of the year in & out of court. On the campaign trail, his rambling speeches are gaffe-ridden & prone to malapropisms & meltdowns.
