Attorney General Dave Yost hailed a Delaware County judge’s decision last week in his case against Google. But the preliminary decision on the search giant’s motion to dismiss was only a partial victory for the state — an invitation to make its case that Google should be regulated as a common carrier. Common carriers have traditionally been thought of as entities that transport people or goods and are generally open to the public — think shipping… Source link

WASHINGTON, March 21 (Reuters) – The U.S. Justice Department, which has accused Alphabet Inc’s (GOOGL.O) Google of breaking antitrust law in its search business, asked a judge to find that the company abused an attorney-client privilege designation to avoid turning over documents. In a court filing, the Justice Department asked for Google to be sanctioned for creating a “Communicate with Care” program that trains workers to include an attorney and a request for advice when writing about… Source link

Jan 25 (Reuters) – Allegations that Alphabet Inc’s (GOOGL.O) Google deceived users with unclear smartphone location tracking settings should be weighed by a jury, an Arizona judge ruled on Tuesday, refusing to toss out a lawsuit brought by the state’s attorney general.

New York Giants co-owner John Mara knew firing Joe Judge was the right decision. Mara spoke about that choice Wednesday, explaining he felt the team hit “rock bottom” toward the end of the season. Mara’s full quote is actually much worse. He thought the team hit rock bottom weeks ago, only for the team to one-up its own failure every single week. That’s an honest — and scathing — assessment of Judge’s final weeks with the team. Judge drew headlines after a blowout loss against the Chicago… Source link

Dubbed Project Vivian, a Google attorney described the ongoing effort between 2018 and 2020 as a way to “engage employees more positively and convince them that unions suck,” according to one of the documents. The documents are part of a case the NLRB brought against Google in December 2020,… Source link

Google wrongly claimed attorney-client privilege to protect documents subpoenaed in a National Labor Relations Board case filed by former employees who say the company fired them because of their unionization efforts, a labor judge has ruled. The administrative law judge, Paul Bogas, whom the N.L.R.B. appointed as a special master to review the documents, said in a report on Friday that “this broad assertion is, to put it charitably, an overreach.” The ruling is the latest legal blow to… Source link

“Relentless” was a word Joe Judge used as an anchor in the first media conference of his New York Giants coaching career. It was the kind of buzzy, coach-speak term that rolls off the tongue well in interviews and can be easily plastered somewhere in the team facility. If Ted Lasso has “Believe,” Joe Judge has “relentless.” Relentless in losing … in making mistakes … in overseeing decline.  They’re relentless reminders that fruit of the Bill Belichick coaching tree is usually long… Source link
