The fact that the Tech Trusts are silencing and censoring as much of @Project_Veritas and @JamesOKeefeIII 's work on them as possible rather than trying to release evidence to disprove the reporting says everything about the accuracy of said reporting. There's more out there.

Google would not be able to do what it does without the implicit cooperation of other members of the Silicon Valley Tech Trust. Period. The internet is so interconnected, these platforms all feed into each other so much, so many cooperation agreements have been made...

... that an attack on one is an attack on all of them. All of these interwoven agreements on data sharing, interconnectivity, cross-platform applications, etc are the superstructure that hold this Tech Trust together. A Sherman antitrust lawsuit would by necessity hit them all.

So when you get Veritas and O'Keefe revealing that Google, who is the central nexus of all of these agreements being the most widely proliferated and worldwide element of Silicon Valley, is taking advantage of the collective might of Silicon valley to engineer elections?

This is a doomsday scenario for the Tech Trust. You see, part of the Sherman Antitrust Act necessitates that the Trusts must be actively rigging the market structure in some way. Usually this is by upping the prices thanks to their monopolistic control of the market.

This is harder to prove outside of special cases.

There's also the squashing of competition; this is an even harder allegation to prove, as competition by definition means that there are going to be winners and losers. The rules for fair elimination of competition are murky.

This is why the deplatforming of groups like GAB are a good example of the anticompetitive nature of the Tech Trust, but on their own it is difficult use them to clear the bar necessary for an actual antitrust action.

However, get one of those companies on the record with several whistleblowers providing the evidence to back up that the Tech Trusts are engaging in electioneering in a definitively partisan matter, and then to go to such great lengths to keep that electioneering a secret?

That, with sufficient documentation, evidence, and testimony, could be EXACTLY what is needed to justify an antitrust violation.

The Tech Trust using their collective market power to cooperatively rig elections is a clear casus belli, a cause of action, for antitrust suits.

So I'mma just sit back with my bourbon and watch the fireworks. Barr's got this.
