“‘The #Google of today is a #monopoly gatekeeper for the internet.’ […] Conservatives like President Trump and liberals like Senator Elizabeth Warren have called for more restraints over #BigTech. […] #Alphabet, valued at $1.04 trillion and with cash reserves of $120 billion, has fought similar #antitrust lawsuits in Europe. The company spent $12.7 million lobbying in the United States in 2019, making it one of the top corporate spenders in Washington.”

@tripu Beware that NYT is also a very large *tech* giant. Google is NYT's competitor for eyeballs in the attention economy. Take everything they say with a grain of salt.
