Google Antitrust Suit May Go Forward

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Saturday July 1, 2006 @09:40AM from the crazy-wacky-suit dept.

TechForensics writes "KinderStart, whose page hits and AdSense revenue dropped sharply after changes by Google demoted its appearance in search results, brought suit claiming the search engine effectively suppressed its first amendment rights by lowering the site's visibility. While the Court rejected that argument out-of-hand, it appeared more amenable to KinderStart's argument that since it was a search page, Google's suppression of a rival search engine is prohibited by antitrust laws. The suit may go forward with the judge's commentary."

Kinderstart is a miserable failure! ;)

(No, this is not karma whoring. Unless, of course, Taco added a new level above 'excellent'. Think what what would happen if we had a link like this to Kinderstart at the top of every /. comment page...)
