What isn't a monopoly anymore? Which doesn't make their ultimate goal is to fuck people to make a profit. Latest one that hit me hard is ~~cat~~ car manufacturers selling people's data to the insurance companies and people are getting insurance price ~~bike~~ hike(fuck you, Google and fuck your fucking keyboard) for no reason.

cat manufacturers

insurance price bike

I know exactly what you meant but these typos are strangely hilarious. Cheers, we all make silly typos sometimes. Me especially when I'm typing on a phone because I hate using autocorrect.

For anyone confused: car manufacturers / price hike

This is 100% Gboard autocorrecting words that are already correct. It feels the need to speak for me. I'm so fucking sick of it changing already correct words to what it thinks I need to type. I've even fucking emailed Google about it. They think they're helping us type better and faster, but they're actually making us type slower, as we have to fucking double check everything we type.

The DOJ isn't going after this, but VISA is also the source of all these fucking porn bans on like Tumblr and shit because if you want to be able to use their payment processing, you also have to follow their fucking puritan ass values.

Honestly, if this kicks that secondary issue in its ass, that's amazing.

DOJ is really going at it lately.

I can't wait to hear about the outcome of this litigation in 20-25 years.

Right?

Going after Google AND Visa?!

Even if it's all theatrics, the Justice department hasn't really showed up to work in recent memory and this is a refreshing change from the void abyss DOJ usually haunts

The Bush jr administration illegally made political hiring and firing decisions for DOJ positions. We are just now getting far enough away from that to have the DOJ right itself.

These network transactions cost between 2 to 4 % for merchants, which is a cost passed to consumers by businesses raising prices. That's a fairly large "inflation", and certainly it seems out of line with the effort they out into it. It's anticompetitive practices that keep it in place.

And the merchant terms are getting worse and more arbitrary.
