Google ‘wilfully’ monopolised online advertising market, US judge rules
Federal court’s decision heightens the risks that Silicon Valley behemoth will need to sell assets
To quote Jonathan Kanter, the former head of the DoJ’s antitrust unit: “Today is a huge victory for antitrust enforcement, the media industry, and the free and open internet . . . Google is now an illegal monopolist twice over.” www.ft.com/content/3456...

Czech Republic to rescue Radio Free Europe after Donald Trump funding cuts

The real history of free speech — from supreme ideal to poisonous politics
The 300-year-old doctrine is being tested by the excesses of digital oligarchs, says historian Fara Dabhoiwala
FT's Weekend Essay by Princeton University historian Fara Dabhoiwala might be the most well reflected and nuanced text on the many dilemmas of free speech, I've read. Highly recommended! www.ft.com/content/d1f1...

America has turned on its triends
Trump's abandonment of his country's allies is real and will endure
Winston Churchill is credited with saying that America does the right thing after exhausting the alternatives. Donald Trump has turned that aphorism on its head. In the past 10 days, he has all but incinerated 80 years of postwar American leadership. Those who thought America was a friend or ally, notably Ukraine and Nato, are dropping once safe assumptions to cope with a world in which America is an unabashed predator. Countries that were treated by Washington as adversaries, notably Vladimir Putin's Russia, are suddenly America's friend.
There were hinge moments in history when the US displayed its character as global leader, such as Dwight Eisen-hower's repudiation of Anglo-French imperialism in the 1956 Suez crisis, or
Ronald Reagan's 1987 exhortation to the Soviet Union to tear down the Berlin Wall. They defined the world's idea of America. Trump's assertion this week that Ukraine "should have never started" the war is the dark version of those. His account of Russia being provoked to invade Ukraine came straight from Putin's talking points. So too was JD Vance's Valentine's Day speech in Munich in which the US vice-president identified liberal democracy as Europe's real threat from within.
These moments will live in infamy.
What do they tell us about what is com-ing? First, there should be no doubt that Trump's contempt for allies and admiration for strongmen is real and will endure. During his first term, Trump's instincts were curbed by the more traditional Republicans around him. Trump 2.0 is the real article. It is entirely possible that figures like Marco Rubio, his secretary of state, or Mike Waltz, his national security adviser, still believe in the US-led alliance that each once championed. Their private thoughts are irrelevant. Each displayed fealty to Trump's predatory vision of America at talks with Russian counterparts in Saudi Arabia this week. Uk…
Brilliant but devastating editorial in the Financial Times.
“In the past 10 days, he [Trump] has all but incinerated 80 years of postwar American leadership. If you are not at the table, you are on the menu. America has turned.”

Mediechef raser mod Søren Pind-udvalg: Det er et »knæfald«
Medieansvarsudvalg anbefaler en ny ombudsmand, der kan rejse og føre retssager mod medierne. Den slags hører hjemme i autoritære regimer, lyder kritikken fra branchen og eksperter.
Professor Sten Schaumburg-Müller: »Det duer ikke, at en ombudsmand både skal være anklager og dommer, og vi har ikke brug for en yderligere indskrænkning af pressefriheden. Det her er et farligt signal, der lyder som noget, de vil hilse velkommen i autoritære stater«. politiken.dk/kultur/medie...
