Not true. This lawsuit has been in the works for a long time. IIRC the investigation started towards the end up the first Trump admin, was completed, brought to trial, and won by the Biden admin, and now is being completed under Trump again.
Don’t believe the MAGA lies about government agencies being partisan hacks. They’re generally staffed by people who believe in the mission and put that ahead of politics. Under Trump, a lot of good people are leaving, but the ones playing the loyalty game can stay and keep working.

Google’s ad network and YouTube are pushing the agenda more than pretty much everyone.

I thought so too because I only get horrific conservative nonsense from their platforms but turns out they’ve been vearing left lately, delisting conservative news and banning far right advertisers.

They’re an open platform. Anyone can buy ad time on their platforms. It has nothing to do with Google and everything to do with people buying ad time.
If you’re going to be pissed, then be pissed. Just be right.

More like, if you sell a gun and follow the law, you’re not responsible if the person you sold the gun to murders someone…
They’re an ad agency. They sell ad space. If “anti-abortion” people buy ads, that doesn’t mean that Google is pushing anti-abortion. How anyone could think like that is frankly the epitome of stupidity.

Just thinking one step further: If I have capital, I control the ads and content.
Thank god the rich are interested in human rights.
