The European Commission Versus Android Stratechery By Ben Thompson

This is a great overview of the EU’s decision against Google and Android. Google has been strong arming OEMs for years and locking more and more of the Android OS down.

Gabriel Weinbergs Answer To What Is The Revenue Generation Model

I’ve been using Duck Duck Go as my search engine for over a year now. While I occasionally need to go back to Google for things, most of the time the first result from Duck Duck Go has what I’m looking for.

Advertising without the invasive tracking is still very profitable, and I’m sure if companies like Google and Facebook wanted to, they could make it work, they chose not to.
