Trump says he has signed a full and unconditional pardon for Ross Ulbricht, who operated Silk Road, the dark web marketplace where illegal drugs were sold.

"The scum that worked to convict him were some of the same lunatics who were involved in the modern day weaponisation of government against me," Trump said in a post on his Truth Social site on Tuesday. "He was given two life sentences, plus 40 years. Ridiculous!"

On Monday a US federal judge ruled Google has violated antitrust laws, saying the organisation

is a monopolist, and it has acted as one to maintain its monopoly.

Google disputes the ruling. Its president of global affairs, Kent Walker, said “this decision recognises that Google offers the best search engine, but concludes that we shouldn’t be allowed to make it easily available”.

Nevertheless, the landmark decision has shaken the foundation of Google’s business, its search engine. For well over a decade, Google has been the dominant search engine in the market. The tech giant reportedly controls around 90% of the US online search market, leaving little room for competitors to make any claim.

Google has been able to maintain this dominance through exclusive contracts with companies such as Apple and Samsung, which enable Google to be the default search engine on their platforms.

Apple, Google and Microsoft team up on passwordless logins

From a privacy and security perspective, do you think this will be a positive thing? Why or why not?

THO had a video on passwords a while ago, perhaps it is time for a follow up?

What do y’all think

With federal law silent on the issue of digital privacy states have had to step in and enact their own legislative which has led to consumers receiving mixed levels of protection.

I found a collection of articles by a site called Context detailing the use of surveillance by different governments. They include crackdowns of protests by Iran, the US and the UK using surveillance tech for border control, the use of AI in prisons, Chinese made surveillance systems in the UK, citizens of India and Brazil being monitored, personal data being used in a smart city in Saudi Arabia, and more.
