Well they violated rules related to their advertising business, which Microsoft has practically no participation in. Provided that MS doesn't revert back to bundling issues of 20 years ago, the lack of a crime means the lack of a punishment.
Google may be broken up, could Sony pick up something interesting in the fallout?

Someone like Musk who emphasizes free speech get YouTube? So it can become another right propaganda outlet? Like what has become of Twitter
YouTube should remain under Google for many reasons. So many of their backend data for billions of users are tied into these things.
I don't think y'all understand how expensive it is to keep YouTube fully functional in its current form... I don't see how going independent will help.

I don't really see a place for Sony to want to buy up anything from Google. I'm also not certain at this time whether Google (Alphabet) will actually be forced to divest any of its subsidiaries.
They're already forcing Recall onto every Windows 11+ installation by linking the windows explorer to it.
Unless you spoke, Windows Explorer is not Internet Explorer and is part and parcel of Windows. So, what, they've been selling Windows with Windows? Thats allowed.
First of all, in the old IE issue back in the day, Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer were linked. The shell was coupled to the browser, which was supposed to be an independent program. That was the problem then.
Recall is an AI agent that is constantly recording your activity in the background (in other words, spying on the user). MS had promised it would be opt-in, but not only is it now actually on by default, it no longer is an optional component, it became integral to the operating system.
They lied. I wonder if the recorded data really stays local. I'm sure they were honest about that...
