Google has illegal advertising monopoly, judge rules

“US district judge Leonie Brinkema said in the ruling Google had ‘wilfully engaged in a series of anticompetitive acts’ which enabled it to ‘acquire and maintain monopoly power’ in the market. ‘This exclusionary conduct substantially harmed Google’s publisher customers, the competitive process, and, ultimately, consumers of information on the open web,’ she said.”

Thai Weed Heats Up: Advocates Against Reclassification, Push for Cannabis Act

“Prasitchai explained that the network has proposed forming a joint committee to research cannabis in four dimensions:

Whether cannabis poses more health risks than cigarettes and alcohol.

Whether cannabis has caused more severe social harm in the last two years compared to cigarettes and alcohol.

Whether the medicinal properties of cannabis are superior to those of cigarettes and alcohol.

Whether cannabis actually causes psychiatric disorders and brain damage in young people, as claimed by the government.

Once the research is complete, the results should determine the legal status of cannabis. If cannabis is found to be no more harmful than cigarettes and alcohol and is not a cause of psychiatric disorders or brain damage, it should be regulated under a cannabis law. If it proves to be more harmful, it should come under the Narcotics Act.”
