The main takeaway is that Google uses Chrome to collect data on what search results people click on and how long they spend on those pages. They then use that data to rank search results.
For just $320 million what do you expect? If only Gaza weren’t surrounded by water on all sides. Then we could just truck aid in.
It’s not very typical, I’d like to make that clear.
In practice, I suspect the most important factor in eliminating child labor will actually be simply shrinking extreme poverty.
Let’s start at home.
I agree that this another reason we need vigorous antitrust enforcement.
It’s not a trivial problem, but I don’t think it’s insurmountable for the multinational corporations that actually care. If journalists can uncover this kind of thing without any inside information, corporations can do it too. And if consumers care enough, the corporations will care.
Here’s a toolkit from the US Department of Labor:
Child and forced labor in supply chains present serious and material risks to companies and industries. The U.S. Department of Labor’s Comply Chain tool helps companies mitigate these risks by building or improving worker-driven social compliance systems, which empower workers to play a central role in identifying and addressing labor rights violations and other concerns within their workplaces.
You seem to be malfunctioning. Your just mindlessly repeating worn out, discredited talking points
Not with that attitude. I’m kidding, but not totally. Consumers and voters need to demand better. Fatalism helps no one.
Don’t compare the oppressors and colonizers to the freedom fighters.
In its bare reality, decolonization reeks of red-hot cannonballs and bloody knives. For the last can be the first only after a murderous and decisive confrontation between the two protagonists. This determination to have the last move up to the front, to have them clamber up (too quickly, say some) the famous echelons of an organized society, can only succeed by resorting to every means, including, of course, violence.
Frantz Fanon, The Wretched of the Earth
It’s outrageous that Europe and the US continue to hang on to their colonies and then feign moral outrage when Russia or China tries to exploit their neighbors.
France claims 13 overseas territories and the UK claims 14 overseas territories. France continues to exploit the its former African colonies.
You may have noticed that Haiti is a shambles these days. Well part of the reason is that after Haiti won it’s independance, France demanded reparations. That’s right, the colonizer demanded reparations from the nation of slaves who won their freedom. And for 122 years, until 1947, Haiti was saddled with this debt.
Who cares what’s in their heart? It’s their actions that matter.

One of the very first proponents of Zionism was an American evangelist in the 1890’s named William Blackstone who circulated a petition in support of creating a Jewish state in Palestine. He collected signatures from “431 prominent citizens…” Including:
[F]inanciers John D. Rockefeller and J. P. Morgan, future President William McKinley, and Chief Justice Melville Fuller; many members of Congress; the editors of all major newspapers in those five cities, including the still-extant The Boston Globe, The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and The Washington Post; and a long list of university and seminary presidents, mayors, and leading businessmen.
May 16, 1916, Nathan Straus, at the behest of (later Supreme Court Justice) Louis Brandeis wrote Rev. Blackstone. “Mr. Brandeis is perfectly infatuated with the work that you have done along the lines of Zionism. It would have done your heart good to have heard him assert what a valuable contribution to the cause your document is. In fact he agrees with me that you are the Father of Zionism, as your work antedates Herzl".[3]
It’s not just Jewish lobbyists. Arguably more important is the Zionist Christian fundamentalists in the US who think they are hastening the rapture and the apocalypse.
Just let them slowly cook in the global oven that our industrial consumerist society has created?
The Houthi shipping blockade is explicitly in defense of Gaza.
