Google accused DOJ of aiming to force people to use “inferior” search products.
Mehta even appeared briefly confused by some of the references to today’s tech, unable to keep straight if Mozilla was a browser or a search engine. He also appeared unclear about how SEM works and struggled to understand the options for Microsoft to promote Bing ads outside of Google’s SEM tools.
This is not the first thing I have heard troubling about judge Mehta regarding this case. He also ruled that it would not be considered that Google employees and executives purposely destroyed evidence related to the case. It’s not a good sign for the antitrust argument with a judge like this.
We definitely need technology judges and legislatures with a history in the industry or robust training. They make and rule on the laws and they don’t even understand the subjects they’re legislating.
They need the judge that heard the Google Oracle API case - actually seemed to understand the implications of copyrighting APIs

It doesn’t sound like a good sign that the vibrant competition the defendant is referencing is something the judge has literally never heard of.
Anyone else reminded of Ted Stevens, head of technology committee, and SERIES OF TUBES. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cZC67wXUTs
