Here is an excellent piece by @danielahanley that lays out how the Biden administration can use compulsory licensing to open up Google's private index of the web and fight Google's monopoly power. washingtonmonthly.com/2021/07/20/let…
Greenwashing at #GoogleIO ignores key source of Google's carbon footprint: crawl. Continually spidering "hundreds of billions" of 3rd party web pages to keep its 100,000,000GB index fresh adds up. 1 annual refresh = 42,000 trees to offset per @gerrymcgovern. Ofc its WAY higher.

Ya have to be on Facebook because everyone else is. But what is the source of Google's monopoly power? As @ZackMaril of @KnuckleheadsClb explained to lawmakers. Google's kryptonite is the stock of 600 billion webpages indexed by its crawling-bot: nytimes.com/2020/12/14/tec…
"Opening up Google's web index is how the United States can catch up in the international race to regulate Google." says @ZackMaril of @KnuckleheadsClb businessinsider.com/us-internation…

Is the Google crawler given more access than everybody else? Yes, says this new independent club, with evidence. Indexing is a bigger challenge than crawling but still; this is important work that merits and gets my support. knuckleheads.club/the-evidence-w…
We're feeling lucky. This past week was a wild week to launch a new think tank focused on regulating Google and we're glad that we have been able to the word out about Google's web crawling advantages. knuckleheads.club/2020/12/21/wer…
@ejc3 And the main point of the Knuckleheads’ Club endeavor, along with yesterday’s linked-from-DF NYT piece, is that Google has a much stronger monopoly on indexing the web than on presenting search results, which is a difference worth considering.
A key aspect of Google's dominance is the power of its crawler Googlebot that includes about 500 billion to 600 billion web pages, compared with 100 billion to 200 billion for Microsoft nyti.ms/2Kkkp3W 1/n @UGambini @arcapde @Sally_Hubbard @Caffar3Cristina @a_maehl
We’ve been wanting to talk about Google’s web crawling advantage for a long while now! Argue with us! We invite your criticism, we want to hear it.

Google markets dominance lies in its enormous index. Many major websites only allow Google & Microsoft spiders to crawl their websites, as of their robots.txt files. Minor search engines (e.g:DuckDuckGo et al.) lack resources & reputation to keep the pace: nytimes.com/2020/12/14/tec…

If Google didn’t have their monopoly on the search engine market and web crawling, they couldn’t keep getting away with conduct like this.

Google aims to operate on carbon-free energy everywhere, 24/7 by 2030. We’ve signed a corporate agreement to develop a next-generation geothermal power project, to provide clean energy to the grid on which our Nevada data center operates → goo.gle/3hLtVM7 #GoogleIO

One of the most interesting parts of this Texas complaint is an allegation that Google diffused a threat from Facebook by agreeing to give it special advantages in ad auctions. If true, an obvious anticompetitive move by both parties

Speaking of Google Cloud deprecating shit, they've deprecated spending limits on App Engine, so I have to go learn some new system after years of saying "cap it at $100". Fuck App Engine, and Fuck GCP. I can't wait to get off this shit platform. It's visibly decaying.
