More than 200 newspapers across the U.S. have reportedly joined antitrust lawsuits against Google and Facebook over the past year. The lawsuits claim that Facebook and Google have monopolized the digital ads market, taking revenue that should have gone to local news outlets.

I'd rather have my information spoon fed to me by the local Gestapo rather than the worldwide Gestapo.

Many newspapers are just as bad as google and Facebook. Newspapers forgot about giving unbiased news a long time ago. They forgot that the biased opinion does not beling on the front page as news. For the reader, it doesn’t matter where the money goes.

My "local" paper is owned by Gannett. There are only a handful of local reporters. 90% of the content is USA Today. It's not a local paper and I don't need national and international content from my local paper, particularly not the content provided by USA Today. Local papers need to cover local stories, we have the internet for everything else.

I'll bet buggy whip manufactures wanted to sue those newfangled horseless carriage companies for stealing their business too.

Wouldn't you know it, the biggest sins of Google and Fakebook are the lies, spying, bias, bullying, leftist preferences, Antifa, LGBTQXZ and BLM garbage but the newsies are quibbling about money lost on ads. For their 90% leftist propaganda spewing, they all deserve to die, Google and Fakebook with them.

It's time to bust up those malicious monopolies and limit their power to distort the public's perceptions.
PS: It's also time to put a stop to the spread of redundant articles (where a statement is repeated, word for word or very nearly so, again and again. The ubiquitous pattern of quoting a tweet right before embedding the same tweet is already too much.

There are pretty much no local papers any more. All were bought up for about $200 each by the big, leftist newspaper chains.
Google is evil.
Always stay away from Google.
A tiny bit of good news. I was watching a video on Sen. Johnson's Vaccine Mandate roundtable (very long, but great information, very sad personal accounts of vaccine deaths and injuries, and expert comments by some doctors and researchers). It is very, very slow loading many times, long delays before starting, on one platform I had no video. The host is Rumble, which is a no censoring alternative to YouTube. I was frustrated at the slow presentation and after a bunch of fiddling, finally did a search on "my Rumble video plays slowly".....
And I discovered that in early 2021 Rumble had an average of 1.6 million views a day. In October of 2021 Rumble had an average of 44 million views a day. A 2800% increase in viewership. THAT is wonderful!
People are getting sick of the EVIL of Google/YouTube shutting down all discussions that aren't approved by the Totalitarians In Charge, and are moving in huge numbers to an open video forum. And Rumble is scrambling to add servers and capacity, expanding as fast as they can, and still cannot keep up. More power to them. To hell with YouTube.
This is GREAT news. Screw the evil Google monsters. STAY AWAY from Google. Never use Google to search. There are plenty of others, maybe not perfect, but all better than evil Google. I use Bing and get a truly beautiful photo each day, and often learn a thing or two about where the photo was taken or what the subject is.

I don’t use Google…ever. They track you relentlessly. Use StartPage or DuckDuckGo for anonymous surfing. You won’t get ads popping up and shoved in you face.

It is time to take a stand against these people who think they can rule our voice, our lives, our country. If we don't fight for freedom and our constitution then we failed future generations. Many fought before us so we could live free. Stand up for our constitutional rights, our sovereignty, our values as a nation, and our security!
