Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
This is surprising IMO, the trend the past almost 3 decades (since the Clinton administration) has been to give the giants a free pass on almost everything. Bush ended the case against Microsoft, and since then there has been zero big case victories for competition and consumers that I can remember.
Maybe pressure from Europe helped, we've seen a lot of high profile rulings from EU, so maybe it's "get your shit together, or we will do it for you" kind of situation?
And they just made that exclusive deal with reddit
Thats crazy because in the timeline i came from, everyone knew Google was a monopoly 20 years ago!
Have you guys boycotted facebook for stealing your information yet? We started talking about that back in 2012.
And you all abandoned Youtube for being inconsistent with their copyright process and how they monetize creators, right? Right?
I am completely guilty of this line of thinking. 'We' knew this long ago. 'We' being the minority of the population who took the extra modicum of effort to even think about the issue.
Is this…sarcasm?
im either joking, a liar or a time traveler
Occams Razor would suggest I'm probably not a time traveler
Yeah sure, John Titor.
That's what a time traveler would say
I just switched to duckduckgo. Better results, not inundated with ads. Search for software on Google and the first 3-5 results, at least, are sponsored scam links.
Better results
That's not generally my experience. I still try DDG first, but probably 20-25% of the time, I have to switch back to Google. Oddly, not for the stuff in Japanese or related to Japan, but more tech and other such.
i must be doing something wrong because to me, duckduckgo doesnt even work as well as AskJeeves did in 2001
Marginalia is where the good shit is.
Any bets on penalties?
10k Lemmy Bucks says that Google won't be fined but will have to agree and make active changes to how they do things for the next two years.
A mmmillion dollars?
