There is a foolish War against the freedom of information created by the Big Tech companies. US Big Tech companies like Apple, Google, Microsoft, Meta and X created a world wide freedom of communication and information. Politics shall not interfere with the freedom of expression.
The US Democrats used autocratic mechanism to ban expresions which do not suit their narrative. The narrative is the not democratic identity policy. That is why LinkedIn, CNN, Facebook and others banned Donald Trump from their services in the election of 2020. Its clear the Big Tech or the main media shall handle the freedom of expression totally, not only from the identity policy narrative. LinkedIn shall stop banning people from their point of view.
The European Union has a money hunger and for this purpose te EU made the Digital Services Act (DSA) directive with which they could gain a lot money from fines. The European Union has fined Apple and Meta a combined €700 million ($797 million) in the first enforcement of its landmark digital competition law.
The Digital Services Act (DSA) and the Digital Markets Act (DMA) are a single set of rules that apply across the EU. They have two main objectives. Create a safer digital space that protects the fundamental rights of all users of digital services. Create a level playing field to foster innovation, growth and competitiveness, both in the European internal market and globally. The safer space should not have to do with Big Tech but with the attacks of hackers on information.
What does the EU do with their income? For 2022 38% of the spending is not have been accounted for. The EU supports Hamas and gives millions of Euros to UN organisations like UNWRA. Big EU countries receive over 10% of the EU income and small countries like The Netherlands receive only 2%.
It is clear the EU DSA and DMA are directives, not created for a safe environment, but to ban information which is not suitable for the EU identity policy narrative.
The US Department of Justice wants Google to be banned from making such deals to be the default search engine in third-party browsers, because it limits the opportunities for competitors. The US court ruled last year that Google has an illegal monopoly on the online search market. The current lawsuit is intended to clarify what measures Google must take to limit its search monopoly. One of the other proposals is a forced sale of Chrome. This is ridiculous.
According to Muhlheim, if Mozilla were to lose Google’s revenue once, Firefox would inevitably end up in a “downward spiral”. As a result, the company would have to scale back Firefox’s product development, making the browser less attractive. As a result, Firefox would lose more users, including to Chrome, which would then see its market share increase. This could have the opposite effect of the lawsuit’s goal, at least that’s what the Mozilla CEO reasons. According to him, such a downward spiral could “bankrupt Firefox”.
