I knew that this was coming, Matt, just wasn't sure when! Thanks for the announcement!

Yeah I read about that. There is also a lawsuit with Google by the Justice Dept in USA for its abuse of monopoly power (another anti-trust law violation). Nothing surprises me, Matt. Thanks for sharing. USA is famous for being the most litigious country.
Yes, they are. I haven't read the article about Google yet. Nothing will come from this anyway...just a bunch of wasted taxpayers' money😒
I can understand your viewpoints. DOJ started the lawsuit against Google about a year ago. It was on the national news. The federal trial went on a couple of weeks ago in Washington, D.C. US prosecutors vs Google lawyers were there- you can read about it on CNN.
