god i just HATE HATE HATE it when women want jobs
that's not what he meant...

i don't think there's much a basis for their suit. maybe google could be aced by these laws but i doubt this lawsuit will do it. my bet is on a settlement outside of court, but if they do end up goin, then google will probably win. they have no legal obligation to allow gab on their store and their removal of it can probably easily be argued as a violation of google's guidelines rather than as an abuse of monopoly power. gab is trying to force itself into a victim position but i don't think it'll fly

women are biologically inferior
are you alright there buddy

Not gonna pretend i know how monopoly laws work but it seems like their best bet is a breach of contract charge. They claim that company policy was enforced differently on them vs other social media apps, not sure if that's actually the case though.

one of the issues is that the google play store was the only medium for downloading Gab. the ios app store denied Gab entry outright, so android phones were Gab's only market as a company.
Gab's idea of free speech goes against Google's "progressive" idea of free speech, and also rivaled other social media platforms. many twitter users fled twitter for Gab, if i'm remembering correctly. if Gab can prove that the difference in political ideologies influenced the app's deletion, then this lawsuit will go a bit further than an out-of-court settlement, i feel.
if they can prove that the app was deleted to remove Gab as competition as well? Gab could win.

we all need to band together and figuratively throw spears and the mammoth's legs like pygmy tribesmen

google is too loving powerful

that's not what he meant...

didnt he literally only say that certain women shouldn't be hired if their only merit is being able to fill a diversity quota

you mean Damore? yes, the guy is liberal and they ate him alive

tfw you try to see women as more than just a commodity needed to meet a quota and you get fired for it

while i agree that google has too much power and needs to be taken down a notch or two, this is honestly just stupid and not the way to do it

also gab isn't a "free speech site." it's just a social media platform for the mentally unsound :P

Gab isn't a whole lot better with their censorship

Your thinking of Reddit, not gab.
