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.

    From your linked article [theverge.com]:

    Some on the far-right have publicly called for parallel internet services in response to this pressure, and Torba says Gab wants to help create “a decentralized, blockchain-based, radically transparent, people-powered internet infrastructure.”

    What a wonderful idea. Let these sub-human scum have their racist, libertarian fantasy world playground all to themselves. And good riddance to bad garbage!

    Actual I'm finding companies like Google lately not only to be sexist, but specifically cissexist [wikipedia.org].

    Careful now. I've formatted the link so I'll know which knee jerk responses to this comment didn't click it and don't know what that term means.

      Pictures (or in this case, search results) validating your claim or it didn't happen.

        How does it feel being a sucker? Couldn't afford the ticket price for the plane that just wooshed overhead?

    Two of the main members of staff are muslim and hindu. Where's this racism claim coming from? Pretty much the definition of a bigot is one who pre-judges not from a standpoint of knowledge or facts, and you've done exactly that.
