The private suits follow the government ones for a simple reason: Regulators have distinct advantages when it comes to obtaining evidence. Federal and state investigators can collect internal documents and interview executives before filing a suit. As a result, their complaints are filled with insider knowledge about the companies. Private individuals can seek that kind of evidence only after they file lawsuits. If the government cases succeed against Google or Facebook at trial, the win is… Source link

“On face value, the amendments keep the integrity of the media code intact,” the center’s director Peter Lewis said in a statement. A Senate committee that scrutinized the draft legislation after it was introduced to Parliament on Dec. 9 recommended last week that the code become law without changes.

The Australian parliament is poised to pass a landmark media law that would make Google and Facebook pay news publishers for displaying their content. The Australian law is separate to a deal Facebook made to pay mainstream UK news outlets millions of pounds a year to license their articles, but has a similar motivation.

I don’t like being this skeptical. GOALIE Jake Oettinger, DAL vs. NAS ($28): Oettinger is… Source link

He’s the focal point of the Barcelona attack and has the highest anytime scorer odds on the slate. On a condensed two-gamer, fading Messi is ill-advised. Mohamed Salah,  LIV at RBL (€30): Salah is in good form coming… Source link
