    I’d rather not have judges make completely subjective statements like that.

      With the chevron ruling, this is the new norm.

    There was a time when that statement would have had some credibility.

    Search engine quality in the United States is determined by 60-80 year olds who have only ever used Google to search for “lexisnexis.com”

    Mehta said the tech giant has built “the industry’s highest quality search engine”.

    This is not wrong. They have done this, in the past. And since then, it has taken a nose dive.

    A US judge will say whatever he’s paid to say.

      This is the judge who ruled that Google has a monopoly and abused it. If Google is paying them, they didn’t pay enough.
