A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Until January. Then that will all stop.
Yes, almost like they have intentionally waited until Trump's election.
imo if anything the opposite causality is true: this DOJ was banking on a continuation of Biden in Kamala Harris, and because that is no longer forthcoming they're now trying to get something out the door before the administrative changeover in the hopes it can stick. it almost certainly won't, but most of Trump's appointees are gigamad about "censorship" and they hate Google for "punishing conservative voices" or whatever so it's hardly the most contrived hail mary if so
Fair point. With that in mind, my new prediction is that Trump's DOJ will start a new case against Google, and then spend two years tripping over their feet before landing at the exact same point.
Before losing and getting the case dismissed with prejudice ,preventing another trial during a later administration you mean, surely
The case likely began (as an investigation) while Trump was still in office. Here's hoping it can continue.
