For 12 years, #WADA and the #IOC have failed to meaningfully address or deter Russian state-sponsored doping that has corrupted the #Olympics. WADA must be restructured under new leadership. Global anti-doping cannot be effective when WADA is controlled by the IOC. @globalathletehq.bsky.social

Today's revelations by @theins.press show that very little has changed in Russia since #Sochi2014. Russian "anti-doping" is still an arm of the state and a tool of foreign policy. Russia must be fully banned from international sport as long as the state manipulates competition for political ends.

"Russia's doping program and its political assassination program not only share personnel — they also share a physical address[.]" RUSADA's chief "is deeply connected to the very security organs responsible for Russia's doping governance [and] chemical weapons governance." theins.press/en/inv/291614

(4/4)It costs tens of billions to develop a GSE, so Mozilla is unlikely to develop one from scratch. (Doing so would allow them to generate revenue without relying on a third party.) Overall, the proposed remedy will likely force independent browser developers to find new ways to generate revenue.

(3/4)Even if Apple is incentivized (due to the loss of $20 billion/year in revenue) to develop a general search engine (as DOJ hopes they will be), their built-in user base and ecosystem-focused business model make it unlikely that they will pay for default placements on third-party browsers.

(2/4)For the same reason, Google may have a hard time finding a suitable buyer if it is forced to divest Chrome because there is no clear path to monetizing Chrome as a standalone entity. Neither Bing nor Duck Duck Go are likely to pay as much as Google has historically paid for default placements.

(1/4)DOJ's proposed remedy in #GoogleSearch is an existential threat to Mozilla/Firefox. The district court found that "Google's default placements on Firefox generate 80% of Mozilla's overall operating revenue[.]" The proposed remedy would prohibit Google from paying Mozilla for default placements.
