zack: i think it utters for you because what google has is this moat around the google search. because of this, this natural monopoly on web crawling, it is allowed to reap all of these profits from the ads that it sells on search results. with those profits, it is able to expand into other markets and kind of be not so great. an example i will give is the stadium project. a video game thing that they tried and just continue to fail at. i don't think another company could get away with that. but when they came into that market, it kind of took out the air from the room. if you're into video games like was a little disappointing to see them come in and be really helpful, google has all these resources, but it was really pretty disappointing. me and my friends were not all that happy with it. i think it did setback that market a little bit. the point i am trying to get across for you and your listeners is that google has all this power and it is squandering it. we as a society are giving them the power by not regulating web crawling. romaine: what is the remedy that you would pro

what is google saying? dina: google hasn't commented to us. justine, who runs google research, circulated an email internally which google researchers were discussing on twitter and don't seem to be happy about its contents, but it has different versions about what occurred. they haven't commented to bloomberg. at this point though, it raises issues in terms of how he is going to calm things down in this google ethics research group. it is hard to underestimate how important research in this field has been. she was the co-author of the foundational research paper that impacted the way facial recognition and ai has been handled and led microsoft to imporve the product and led companies like amazon, microsoft and google to limit how they sell those products. so she has an outsized role in the field and is very influential in the group at google. emily: put this in a broader context in terms of the work, google obviously needs this work, image recognition is a huge part of technology and the work they deliver. dina: the question for google is, wh

google did not do that. every -- it --t two adapter code for the -- supposedly new smartphone environment does not change the meaning and is no more transformative than adapting a short story into a movie. what campbell describes as using a work to get attention or avoid the drudgery of working up something fresh. justice roberts: thank you. justice breyer? justice breyer: please assume the following. assume that -- the computer programs which do something after all are copyrightable. then it says methods of operation are not. whether they are computer programs or not. the problem for us is, is this more like baker v selden where it says the accounting is not the method of operation, or is it more like an ordinary computer program? what i got out of reading through this, very good briefing. java's people divided the universe of tasks in a certain way. although things that tell the computer to do one thing will do. that which tells the computer which to do, that is the declaration. here is what it is like. it

shares of google were down about 1% at the close. after the closing bell, there was no broad leak through on another round of relief and stimulus funds for american household and businesses although investors have latched onto optimism that lawmakers are reaching a deal. markets once again did shrug off largely dappoinng employment data, 885,000 americans filed for unemployment benefits last week, the highest level we have seen since early september. this ties in with what we have heard from economists. on a plane is likely to remain elevated for quite some time, there has been --n the lemon is likely to remain elevated for some time. the u.s. is likely to remain weak until vaccines can remit -- be distributed widely in the pandemic is under control. >> thank you very much, joining us socially distanced in these days of covid of course and trying to keep ourselves, and colleagues as safe as her can. let's not forget emmanuel macron is testing positive this thursday and things happening along those lines, so it is important to stay sa

emily: google has made the case the government's argument is flawed, people do not use google because they have to but because they want to end it a response to this suit the company saying this lawsuit seeks to redesign search that would deprive americans of helpful information at her businesses ability to conduct directly with customers. the cut -- company basically force this suit would google to make search less useful. what is your response? >> it is not true. i'm not were spies that -- not surprised this is the response from the company. we want people to have a greater ability to search and what google has done over time is essentially do all sorts of things that keep us, public consumers, from being able to actually search as effectively as we could. sometimes when you buy a car or you buy a cell phone, you are going to see that google is the dominant search engine, and that hasone because google entered into agreements with those entities that makes google the dominant search engine. that is one way to keep other search engines out of the mix, out of competition. , so are a s

google learn from microsoft that that works pretty well and google acquired the operating system and got that and then told filmmakers hey, you want or operating systems and oh yeah, there's no other option out there in the apple rating operating system is not licensable for phone makers and then you need to take all our apps to default so any other company that could've been a competitor to google or search a whole other fleet of apps and maps and videos cannot even get to be the default in the android phones which has a tremendous market share worldwide. it really is the exact same thing and so you use an exclusionary agreement that it was the default search engine for all kinds of devices, not just android devices but also apple devices and to make sure that no other companies could even have the opportunity to compete. i know people say well, google makes the point easier to download and cap these days and i remember back in the days of microsoft you have to get the cd in the mail and install it.

to use a google. do you think the government has it wrong here, is google not a threat? michael: i think google is a threat, i think the question is how much will the justice department or these state lawsuits really impact google practices? we have to recognize that google dominates the search, it is an activity that people use every day, multiple times a day. there there -- although there may be some practices, it will ultimately not change google's businesses googles stranglehold on the search. emily: lawsuits have also been with against facebook their scrutiny against apple and amazon. do you think any of these companies is in a worse position compared to others? michael: i think some of the suits will really undermine people's confidence. i think the suit that was filed yesterday by texas and 10 other states about facebook and google colluding. i think those will be issues that could ultimately impact advertisers, as well as consumers. i think overall, i doubt that there is any one of these in pa

because of the power of network effects, the more searches on google, the more light and powerful google is, this reinforces itself. our goal is to unshackle and to free up competition, taking away the restrictive contracts. >> mr. attorney general, i guess to your point, google wouldn't be paying billions of dollars to apple to be the default search engine if it wasn't worth anything it does raise a couple eyebrows over here. i wonder on the substance of the complaints, the advertiser angle seems to make a lot more sense to me when you argue this end up with higher prices and sort of lower quality when there's not competition. why not focus on that, on the advertiser as the consumer and the end user because they -- i think it's easier to argue are not getting the benefit here >> jon, this is an argument with two different sides. advertisers we believe are paying higher prices because rivals in the search advertising market are snuffed out and there are ways in which we talk about google using the platform to make bing look less appealing than it actually is, hurting their alternatives a

government agency has filed a complaint against google accusing the tech giant of violating employment regulations according to the national labor relations board google are not fully wanted to stop during a crackdown on worker activism last year the report concluded that employees were fired for protesting against company policies and for attempting to unionize now the google layoffs in 2019 sparked a staff walkout in several u.s. cities back then the 4 workers accused the company of an ethical conduct. we spoke up when we saw google making unethical business decisions that create a workplace that is harmful to us and our colleagues google didn't respond by honoring its values or abiding by the law it responded like a large corporation more interested in revenue growth than in ensuring worker rights and ethical conduct after the labor board complained google responded by saying it's confident in its legal position and that the fired employees had violated company policies political pod cast just in robert young believes that google is making disappointing decisions when it comes to it

, and now we are completely beholden to google. exactly the same thing would happen to arm. but the second problem with arm is that if arm becomes a us company, it falls under the us export regulations. this means that if we wanted to use our own microprocessors, we would have to ask the president of the united states for permission to use our own chips, and as we have just seen recently, the american presidents, you know, america has sometimes some presidents that are willing to use technology as a weapon. you make it sound as though the united states ought to be regarded as some sort of strategic tech rival, and potential damaging enemy, where, surely, the truth is, that the united kingdom looks to the us as its closest strategic partner, its ally, and everything from military involvement to intelligence gathering, to economic partnership. why, in the end, do you not trust that the deal, in the words of the chief executive would be extremely positive for cambridge, the city was so much. he said cambridge would become our european

google really just tries to protect its hegemony, facebook is the same, the strategic things they do within their companies at this stage are about protecting their monopoly status and maintaining their ability to extract monopoly rent at the expense of the rest of society while keeping the policy and regulatory circumstances in their favor in places like washington and it is a business model i more explicitly explain and describe based on my interaction with that business model in facebook and in government that i think it is responsible for this tremendous set of externalities that harms the rest of the society in terms of disinformation, hate speech and election interference that business model is responsible for those harmful results. >> you write that you feel the approximate -- profit maximizing strategy of these companies is directly in opposition to the well-being of democratic society and you point out the public disinformation being symptomatic of that. i say symptomatic because we look for truth about this industry, in order to reform or regulate tech, a new social contrac

, and now we are completely beholden to google. exactly the same thing would happen to arm. but the second more invideous problem, if you pardon the pun, with arm is that if arm becomes a us company, it falls under the us export regulations. this means that if we wanted to use our own microprocessors, we would have to ask the president of the united states for permission to use our own chips, and as we've just seen recently, the american presidents, you know, america sometimes has idiosyncratic presidents that are willing to use technology as a weapon. you make it sound as though the united states ought to be regarded as some sort of strategic tech rival, and potential damaging enemy, where, surely, the truth is, that the united kingdom looks to the us as its closest strategic partner, its ally in everything from military involvement to intelligence gathering, to economic partnership. why, in the end, do you not trust that the deal — in the words of the chief executive of invidia— would be extremely positive for cambridge, the

some parts the enormous power of tech giants that influence so much of our daily lives we search with google online we buy christmas presents on amazon and we share our latest holiday snaps with our friends on facebook or instagram or whatsapp that both belong to social media giant facebook a few tech giants dominate the internet and dictate its rules studies show for example that google's online shopping search engine is still disadvantaged singh rivals despite a regulatory crackdown 3 years ago our let's take a look at you tube by google companies like you tube collect data from users this information then feeds augury them's that decides which ads and which content we see online it is not transparent how it works the ios legal framework for the internet is 20 years old when the world wide web was completely different it is time for an update but it could take years to be implemented as different e.u. institutions have to agree on a common law and. i asked member of the european parliament. if the proposals will change the internet so at the moment their routes are not clear so platforms d

these complaints are escalating for alphabet/google. will it have any impact on what google does? >> that's the big question. they are often slowed down by their practices. we will have to -- we will have to see how google responds to this. in terms of the rico case, what we are waiting to see is what kind of evidence do these attorney generals have against google. ?hat to they find in discovery will we get a response from google? is it their prerogative to hold as long as it wants on this or does it need to come back with an answer? >> it will have to respond. yesterday, google submitted a statement arguing against the claims being made by the texas attorney general. said it concluded with facebook. they were very bold in their approximation that this allegation was not true. open to many of its competitors. vonnie: thank you for bringing us up to date. google is down about half a percent on the decline. the year in deals particularly the tmc areas and areas like gaming. we have the founder and ceo of biggeste, one of the groups in the area. the yesterday, they were exclusive adv

a sign of about 10 percent on a company that they deem a gatekeeper so a company like amazon apple google who is really dominant in a market if they find that they're going against these rules that could mean fines of tens of billions of dollars for some of these companies but i would say it's not just spines that they're after here they really want to preempt some of this behavior that has led to this really imbalanced tech scene so they want for example to to prevent a company like amazon from. advertising for its own products on its web site they want to really overhaul the way that these companies collect and distribute data as well but it's not the 1st time the e.u. has a good regulator take. in the post. it has and the e.u. has really tried but these conventional tools for regulating these companies haven't really worked they have handed down billions of fines but many of these big tech giants have you know hundreds of billions of euros excuse me dollar's worth of cash so a fine hasn't really done much to deter the behavior so what they want to do now is not just penalize some of th
