Dalla community di TWC ho appena letto un messaggio [1] che parla di una vicenda AntiTrust, formalmente elevata negli Stati Uniti da 17 Stati nei confronti, appunto, di Google. Il documento PDF con il testo delle accuse (che allego) è di 173 pagine... e ancora NON l'ho letto. Tuttavia, nel tweet [2] della fonte originale ci sono diversi estratti interessanti. Questi: ----------------------- "- Google had a plan called "Project NERA" to turn the web into a walled garden they called "Not Owned But Operated". A core component of this was the forced logins to the chrome browser you've probably experienced (surprise!)" "- Google is willing to do almost everything to prevent people from circumventing their ad exchanges - This is what AMP is about - Google habitually insider trades on their ad exchanges in every way you can think of and every way you can't. Too many ways to list here." "- The exchanges are also rigged so that google wins on bids where they aren't the highest bidder. - A large amount of people inside google are aware of all of this - If Google ever tells you some change will increase your ad yield, run. In fact anything they tell you is a lie" ---------------- ...e diverse altre cose. Pensare che tutto questo accada _ANCHE_ con il bene-placet degli Atenei Italiani, che non solo hanno affidato a Google un certo numero dei loro servizi... ma contribuiscono in modo importante a "promuoverla" come uno dei migliori target ai quali i giovani studenti/laureandi in ambito ICT possano ambire.... mi rende estremamente triste.
