DOJ antitrust win over Google will ‘very likely’ kill $25B iPhone search deal with Apple: Jefferies

Google is “very likely” to be barred from paying billions of dollars each year to Apple to ensure its search engine is enabled by default on iPhones after its stunning loss to the Justice Department in a landmark antitrust trial, according to analysts at Jefferies.

Judge Amit Mehta ruled in August that Google has an illegal monopoly over online search and specifically called out the firm’s habit of cutting checks for default status – including $20 billion to Apple in 2022 alone – as an anticompetitive tactic. The judge is expected to announce remedies by next summer.

“One very likely rectification is to ban GOOG from paying AAPL to be the exclusive search engine on iPhone,” the Jefferies analysts said in a note to clients on Wednesday

The final result “could take between three and eight years for the final settlement to be decided based on precedents,” the Jefferies analysts said.

Lawmaker calls out “hateful” messages disparaging Israel on Chicago area billboard

Schneider said in a post on X at 6:15 p.m. that he was “aware of the hateful, antisemitic billboard signs located on Edens Spur Tollroad in Northbrook, one that says ‘F*$% ISRAEL’ and one that reads ‘DEATH TO ISRAEL.’ This disgusting, intimidating display has no place in the 10th District, or anywhere in America.”

The Village of Northbrook said in a statement police were made aware of the billboard messages around 5:30 p.m.

The congressman, who represents much of Chicago’s northern suburbs in Cook and Lake counties, added it was “notable that this sign is located in a community with a large Jewish population, in close proximity to a Jewish day school, at the beginning of the Jewish holiday of Sukkot.”

The Northbrook Village Board said in a statement it “unequivocally condemns anti-Semitism and all acts of hate speech. We stand together with the Jewish community, family members, friends and neighbors. Northbrook is an inclusive community and welcomes all.”

Schneider added around 7 p.m. that he had spoken with local police and reached out to OutFront Media about the removal of the messages and an explanation of how they came to be posted.

The images displayed appeared to say they were “Paid for my MrBeast LLC,” a reference to YouTube personality MrBeast best known for his videos featuring lucrative giveaways and elaborate challenges. CBS News Chicago reached out to MrBeast’s production company for comment, but has not heard back.


FOUR YEARS AFTER THE BIDEN LAPTOP COVERUP, MEDIA INTERFERES MORE THAN EVER

Biden admin slapped with major lawsuit over alleged refusal to help state purge noncitizens from voter rolls

In a lawsuit, obtained first by Fox News Digital, the state argues that DHS is mandated to respond to an inquiry from state or local governments seeking to verify the immigration status of anyone in their jurisdiction for a purpose authorized by law. 

“Because the federal government is refusing to comply with these obligations and frustrating Florida’s ability to maintain the integrity of its elections, Florida files this suit,” the lawsuit says.

Florida says it “has an obligation to maintain accurate and current voter registration records” and also notes the impact of the crisis at the southern border, which brought millions of noncitizens into the U.S.

The lawsuit claims that Florida’s Department of State identified a number of individuals for whom it had evidence that they were not citizens, but couldn’t run a search via SAVE as it doesn’t have unique identifiers.

The state says it reached out to DHS’ U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) requesting the verification of those people, but was denied.
