The US DOJ settles its case against RealPage, which it accused of building algorithms that allowed landlords to illegally collude to drive up rental prices

One other notable moment was that Google attorney Karen Dunn referenced Judge Boasberg's Meta opinion for the proposition that “govt must show monopoly power NOW” Asked Brinkema to take recent AdX market share decline into account (56—>42%?) to lean against divestiture

A US judge is expected to rule next year on breaking up Google's ad tech monopoly, after the DOJ and Google delivered closing arguments in a remedies hearing

Judge Leonie M. Brinkema is on the clock.  —  The federal judge, who sits on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia …

She noted NY court in private case adopted her findings, no settlement realistic here “What I'm looking for from both sides today is how quickly remedies can go into effect” Is it easier to do behavioral remedies pending appeal?

What was on Judge Brinkema's mind at $Goog adtech remedy closing arguments today? “Time is of the essence” so what remedy is right for fast moving tech market “highly unlikely” Google won't appeal liability, so what happens during appeal?

DOJ says depends in part on what Google requests in motion to stay pending appeal But sounds like Brinkema thinks inevitability of several years of appeal impacts what the remedy should be, including structural vs behavioral

Judge Brinkema expects first phase of Google adtech decision to come out next year, though she has started pre-work on it already That'll address “core issue” re whether structural remedies or not Then separate order on details, resolve difference on behavioral aspects 🧵

Well I'm confident that AI can repeatedly not comply with privacy consent decrees just as well as humans

Meta cuts roles in its Risk unit, citing a shift from manual reviews to a “consistent and automated process” that is delivering “reliable compliance outcomes”

this layoff doesn't make sense and my hunch is that it might be targeted towards ex-GenAI people. Meta's loss, but could be your win if you hiring frontier RL researchers ;) Linked...

Here's the procedural rule under which the court made the criminal referral. Judges fashioning remedies other Big Tech cases should keep this cite handy {Better yet, to avoid exhaustive nonsense of enforcing behavioral remedies, err on side of structural remedies!} [image]

A US judge rules that Apple violated a 2021 court order to open the App Store to third-party payment options, and refers the case for a criminal investigation

Gonzalez Rogers also referred the case to federal prosecutors to investigate whether Apple committed criminal contempt of court for flouting her 2021 ruling.

Background on Apple's responses to injxn: 🛑Court said stop 30% private tax on in-app transactions; Apple added new 27% charge to purchases on devs' own websites 🛑Court said stop preventing devs from communicating w/ customers; Apple made new barriers 🤥Apple lied to court [image]

The end of the decision frames the scope of the criminal referral as “against Apple and Alex Roman, Apple's Vice President of Finance specifically.” Although only Roman named, the next proceedings can- and should- explore criminal contempt against Tim Cook + other execs

The US v. Google remedies trial opens with the DOJ arguing that Google should be forced to divest Chrome, and Google calling the proposed remedies “extreme”

The remedies trial opens in Washington with the government pushing to break up the company through measures that Google lawyers deem “extreme.”

Agree, DOJ smartly made sure to show how remedies match up with Mehta's liability findings, complete with chart showing how they addressed each point and Google didn't (Plus remedies are holistic & Supreme Court has repeatedly underscored broad discretion for equitable remedies)

Also, weirdly, DOJ *deleted* its request for attorneys' fees. ("costs" do not encompass fees). This is super weird and seems bad in light of DOGE budget cuts - why *wouldn't* you seek money from a monopolistic wrongdoer to keep antitrust enforcement going strong? [image]
