US justice department sues Google over accusation of illegal monopoly | Technology | The Guardian

<https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2020/oct/20/us-justice-department-an…> US justice department sues Google over accusation of illegal monopoly Lawsuit accuses tech company of abusing its position to dominate search and search advertising Dominic Rushe in New York and Kari Paul in San Francisco Tue 20 Oct 2020 15.55 BST First published on Tue 20 Oct 2020 14.15 BST Google dominates online search in the US, accounting for about 80% of search queries. The US justice department filed a lawsuit against Google on Tuesday, accusing the tech company of abusing its position to maintain an illegal monopoly over search and search advertising. “Two decades ago, Google became the darling of Silicon Valley as a scrappy startup with an innovative way to search the emerging internet. That Google is long gone,” the suit alleged. Today Google is a “monopoly gatekeeper for the internet” that has used “pernicious” anticompetitive tactics to maintain and extend its monopolies. The antitrust suit is the most significant legal challenge to a major tech company in decades and comes as US authorities are increasingly critical of the business practices of the major tech companies. The long-awaited case, filed in Washington DC, alleges that Google unfairly acts as a gatekeeper to the web through a series of business agreements that effectively lock out competition. [...]

"Palantir is not our friend"
by J.C. DE MARTIN Oct. 20, 2020

Oct. 20, 2020

*Palantir is not our friend* 20. October 2020 Sophie in 't Veld /In recent years, controversial US big data analytics company Palantir has gained ground in European agencies and their data infrastructure. This reflects a larger naiveté within European politics towards foreign tech companies and an imbalance in EU-US relations. Not only should Palantir be kept out of our institutions and security fabric, it is high time for the EU to gain more strategic technological independence, so that it may defend and assert its status as the last bastion of privacy. / https://aboutintel.eu/palantir-eu-independence/

Manifest V3 changes are now available to test in Microsoft Edge
by Giacomo Tesio Oct. 19, 2020

Oct. 19, 2020

In continuation of our commitment to reduce fragmentation of the web for all developers, and to create better web compatibility for our customers, we plan to support the Declarative Net Request API and other changes proposed as part of Manifest V3. The decision to embrace Manifest V3 changes is based on our dedication to enhance privacy, security & performance for the benefit our end users as well as to allow developers to extend & provide rich experiences in Microsoft Edge. [...] How will your extension be impacted? If you are an extension developer, you may already be aware that the background service worker change and the introduction of the Declarative Net Request API would require you to update your extension. [...] After an extensive review of the concerns raised by content blockers and the community, we believe that a majority of those concerns have been resolved or will be resolved before Web Request API is deprecated. If you continue to face issues, we encourage you to share your feedback, where our team can engage to understand and address your feedback. Continua su https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2020/10/14/extension-manifest-chromium-… Su Forbes la notizia viene commentata così: "some privacy focused extensions such as ad blockers that use the webRequest API may not work. For this reason Manifest V3 has not been popular, and after Google faced criticism from privacy advocates for the change, other Chromium based browsers such as Opera, Brave and Vivaldi said they will not implement it." https://www.forbes.com/sites/kateoflahertyuk/2020/10/18/microsoft-edge-conf… Circa un anno fa EFF scriveva questo in proposito: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/07/googles-plans-chrome-extensions-wont-… Notate la consueta filantropia americana: non rafforzano un monopolio ed una monocultura, combattono la frammentazione del Web!
