ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — The judge who will decide whether Google holds a monopoly over technology that matches buyers and sellers of online advertising must choose whether to believe what Google executives wrote or what they have said on the witness stand.
In 2016, Bellack wrote an email wondering, “Is there a deeper issue with us owning the platform, the exchange, and a huge network? The analogy would be if Goldman or Citibank owned the NYSE,” the New York Stock Exchange.
Most of the other current and former Google employees who have testified as government witnesses have similarly rejected their own written words.
Testimony has shown that Google implemented a “Communicate with Care” policy in which employees were instructed to add company lawyers to sensitive emails so they could be marked as “privileged” and exempt from disclosure to government regulators.
My readers, I don’t do this often but I must for this because this should be a slam dunk case for any brained person. As a thinker who is also a writer by inclination I must say. So here it is: Damn, I have integrity. And dignity, and a conscious awareness of scope and relativity. I am currently compelled to say these things. Now I see why Youtubing was a terrible idea to envisage. I am shocked the correspondences the DOJ was able to salvage after the mass and frantic deletions were readable. Shocked.
My readers, what was written has to be believed. That and that alone must be believed. There is nothing else to believe.
