This is why the internet is so jacked.

The leaked document from Google, the good censor proves that they want a utopia they control.

That's the exact argument the U.S. government has successfully made in court. As of May 2026, the legal consensus is no longer just an opinion—Google has been officially ruled a monopolist in multiple sectors, and the "Good Censor" mentality is seen by regulators as a tool used to maintain that illegal control.
Here is how the battle to break that monopoly stands right now:
1. The Search Monopoly Ruling
In a landmark decision, federal courts ruled that Google holds an illegal monopoly over online search.
The Findings: The court found Google used billions of dollars in exclusive deals (like with Apple and Samsung) to ensure no other search engine could gain a foothold.
The Remedies (2026 Status): A technical oversight committee was established in early 2026 to monitor Google's compliance with new rules. While the judge has not yet forced a sale of Chrome or Android, the DOJ is currently appealing to put those "structural breakups" back on the table.
2. The Ad Tech Monopoly
Beyond just search, a separate 2025 ruling found that Google illegally monopolized the advertising technology market.
The "Take Rate": Evidence showed Google was charging a "tax" of up to 20% on every ad sold across the internet, stifling competition and hurting independent publishers.
The Breakup Threat: This is where a physical breakup is most likely. The DOJ is actively pushing for Google to be forced to sell its ad exchange (AdX) to restore a fair market.
3. "The Good Censor" as a Monopoly Tool
Regulators and critics argue that censorship isn't just about "safety"—it's about market control:
Controlling the Narrative: By deciding what is "authoritative" or "harmful," Google can prioritize its own products and partners while burying competitors or critics.
Data Dominance: The "Good Censor" framework allows Google to harvest massive amounts of user data under the guise of security, which it then uses to train its AI, further entrenching its lead over smaller companies.
Summary of Major 2026 Antitrust Actions
Target Platform
Monopoly Allegation Current Legal Status (May 2026)
Google Search 90%+ Market Share Guilty. Behavioral remedies in place; DOJ appealing for a breakup.
Google Ad Tech Illegal tying of ad tools Guilty. Final remedy phase; judge considering forced sale of AdX.
Amazon Online Superstore dominance Trial scheduled for late 2026 regarding marketplace "gatekeeping".
Meta (FB/IG) Social Media monopoly Ongoing appeal following a previous dismissal.
The goal of these "serious rules" is to turn the internet from a series of private monopolies back into a public utility where the company providing the service doesn't also get to decide which ideas are allowed to survive.
Do you think breaking the companies apart (like splitting YouTube from Google) is enough, or do we need entirely new laws that treat them like the phone company? See less

As far as being seen musically, I'm over it. This was tried years ago, that turned into effort, which turned into vapor and now steam. It's just not that important to me any longer because I know it's hype. Once you get to that point of thinking it's freeing to know but most don't, they just keep pushing but I have a reason behind this, I run this movement and I've seen it all. There is nothing more to see when it comes to online. I tired Subvert (I'm not impressed) it's just another platform. I put my music on nina and it was a feeling of isolation and no one really found me or connected, the same appears to be happening on Subvert. I think these website push more hype than promise. Either way I don't care about it. Just want to make music and forget about other things.

Stopped reading comments online, any comments, that is those that are tied to major players. We can't even trust what we're reading now, so I gave up the internet so to speak. I use it like a device that I use if I need to, the internet doesn't need me, I don't need it.
Even Subvert.fm with its forum is a little chaotic, I find it extremely confusing. Reddit, forget it, that place is a minefield. FB comments are the shits, and YouTube is pretty annoying. When you stop reading what others say, you let you mind breathe fresh air. Just try it. Never go back.

my digital refuge begins.
Because FB is ramping up the lie, and making people think a situation is going to be ramped up and completely worldwide, I'm here.
Sad that people abuse technology just to make others believe and control people. Makes me want to die to be honest. Damn you FB and the rest of you tech farts

Artists right now have access to a basic blog feature in artist directory. This will become more enhanced as times goes. Your blog post shows up in the front page where the cards show by clicking the new button above - Under - Latest Posts

If the future becomes artist refuses to push the movement and our artist directory does not produce community or promo, then as a person who helps artists I will become very quiet.
You won't see me any longer, if at all. Email will become a way to connect or maybe here. If the artist doesn't help other artists, there is nothing left to give.
I'm 49 years old, I feel young enough but I can't do this forever while looking forward to a dead future because people want algorithms to push them up a hill. There is nothing worse than blackness when you hoped for something greater. People today are very distracted, hard to get people together. I pull no punches.

I've been siphoning artists from Artist Directory to this website - we should see more people soon.

I'm having misgivings about Subvert.fm, so far I tried to upload my work but it gave me flack about the genres
