Antitrust Suit Filed Against Google by Gab.Ai

Google faces Antitrust suit filed by new social media company Gab.ai.

The legal action is the latest salvo in an escalating battle between right-leaning technologists and leaders against Silicon Valley giants such as Facebook and Google.

Gab alleges in the lawsuit that "Google deprives competitors, on a discriminatory basis, of access to the App Store, which an essential facility or resource."

"Google is the biggest threat to the free flow of information," Gab chief executive Andrew Torba said in a statement. "Gab started to fight against the big tech companies in the marketplace, and their monopolistic conduct has forced us to bring the fight to the courtroom."

Gab has published its court filing.

    Duckduckgo sucks big, fat donkey balls for relevancy of results. I'll stick with Yandex. The Russians don't give a shit what I search for since they can do fuck all about it even if they did. And they give pretty fair quality results.

    Alright, so where do you find their search plugin for English? There are plugins and addons for Yandex all over the place, but I invariably get taken to the Russian version of their page. Which seems odd - the English version is a separate site?

      Never mind - I'm using Palemoon, click the search tab, in the dropdown, select "find more search engines" which takes you to Palemoon site. Select Yandex, "add to search selections", or words to that effect. I now have a working Yandex search in English.
