ocdtrekkie<p>So Google and Facebook's "Jedi Blue" collusion contract is finally public, and they actually explicitly included a termination clause for "the law found out about the contract".</p><p>When you create a contract that you explicitly know is illegal and has to have such a clause, everyone involved needs to go to prison. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Google</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Facebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Facebook</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/JediBlue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JediBlue</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Antitrust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Antitrust</span></a></p>
