Deepseek closes external investments and risk capital. You have three reasons to do it

by

Deepseek, The great sensation of the beginning of the year in AIhe is breaking with all the rules of the startup ecosystem not only for his efficient AI modelbut also for rejecting the risk capital that other competitors need such as eating. Its founder, Liang Wenfeng, maintains 84% ​​of the property (an anomaly in its field) and does not seem to be in a hurry to give control. Chinese technology broke into the industry in January With its new AI model, but unlike its competitors, it does not announcing multimillionaire financing rounds. Nor want to do it, according to anti The three reasons. Liang Wenfeng has clear reasons to keep investors at bay: 1. He does not want to lose control of his long -term vision on AI.2. Depseek has sufficient its own financing through its High-Flyer investment fund.3. He fears that external investors, especially Chinese, intensify concerns about privacy and security. Why is it important. In a sector where competitors are launched to capture thousands of millions to finance the expensive AI race, Depseek is betting on an alternative path. Financial independence also gives Deepseek freedom to focus on research and development, instead of seeking rapid monetization that investors usually demand. Between the lines. Liang does not usually hide his distrust of investors. In a 2023 interview He openly criticized the obsession of venture capital funds by rapidly monetizing AI, to the detriment of advanced research. This position symbolizes a growing skepticism in the technological sector about whether the traditional financing model is compatible with the development of long -term transforming technologies. The figures. The Deepseek owned structure is unusual for such a powerful startup: 84% is owned by Liang Wenfeng, the founder. 16% are in the hands of people linked to their investment fund, high-flyer. 0% is of traditional external investors. In detail. Liang has funded Deepseek with the benefits of High-Flyer, its quantitative investment fund. “Money has never been a problem for us; the problem is in the prohibitions for sending advanced chips,” he said in 2023. This financial self -sufficiency has allowed Deepseek to develop without the usual external pressure of investors, usually focused on short -term growth metrics. The backdrop. As a Chinese company, Depseek operates under laws that give the Government broad access to their data. This has already caused prohibitions of use in several countries and private companies. The entry of Chinese investors could get this situation worse. The US government has history by sanctioning Chinese technology with government ties, such as Huawei and DJI. And now what. Deepseek will need more and better AI chips to stay competitive, according to Liang himself. These components are expensive and are strongly restricted in China due to the export controls of the United States. Without external financing, Depseek could be left behind in the technological career against rivals with more resources, such as OpenAi or Anthropic. Of course If someone has demonstrated ingenuityIt is Deepseek. In Xataka | Manus is the new sensation of China after Deepseek.

March is already the rainiest month since we have records in several areas of Spain. And only 10 days have passed

by

The other day I spoke with known that I told me that, when I was little, in the Ayamonte of the 60s and 70s, they went to school with water boots. Not only that, he told me, “I remember the white houses putting green because it kept raining.” At that time, I was not sure if it was true or it was nostalgia altering the memories of childhood, but seeing what is happening at the southern end of the peninsula, I would not surprise me anything. And it is that March 2025, just It has just converted in the most rainy month in several places in the country. Among them, the Aaemet Huelva Observatory – Ronda whose maximum historical data, since 1985, had been 164.6 mm. Yesterday, at 20:30, I had already collected 169.2mm. And there are 20 days left. Huelva, however, is simply a metaphor of Spain. An poisoned gift. Although the type of rain that is reaching us from the Atlantic is fantastic and does not have the torrentiality levels of the Danas, there are a point also begin to give problems. First because we have no infrastructure that can collect, accumulate and distribute all that liquid. As we commented a few days agothe red basin, the Odiel and the stones was above 94% of its capacity. That placed it at the level of the interior basins of the Basque Country and above Galicia or the Eastern Cantabrian. It is true that these data have trap (not only have little storage capacity, but in the area many coexit dead reservoirs Cargaditos of mining waste), but is indicative of what is happening in the rest of the country. Floods throughout the country. The clearest case has happened in the Toledo municipality of Escalona and its region. There, the Alberche River (just the one who, As we said yesterdayhe was going to receive an unprecedented amount of water) has overflowed and has caught many people with the step changed. However, more than 15 tajo stations They were yesterday Above the red warning threshold. And, if we expand the frame, we will see Floods in Sevillein The Golden Costain Vitoria or in Cartagena. Catalonia, for the first time in years, seems to drought endemic that lives. Are they good news? Yes, but with nuances. Obviously, water will come very well to face the next summer months. It gives us an irreplaceable margin to decide whether we want to learn from our previous mistakes. As explained in Datadista“From the deep drought of the 1990s, each dry period has served to implement emergency measures (…) or allow practices that were not eliminated when the rains returned, they were used to expand irrigation, increasing the problem of overexploitation and contamination of aquifers and wetlands to which they feed.” What are the nuances? The first is that ‘too much blow water’ also creates problems. Citrus flowers or Strawberry crops can begin to rot (or infect with fungi) in full campaign. That is, climate changes catch crops in different phases of the usual ones and that has impacts on the productive system. But the second nuance is perhaps more important: that the incentives not to take advantage of this blow of luck and not Implement the changes that The Spanish Water System needs. And, in the meantime, it does not stop raining. Nor does it seem to stop doing it.

The bags in the US have collapsed. “The Magnificent Seven” of technology and crypts are the most affected

by

Wall Street is having a 2025 especially black. In the last two years, the S&P 500 index, which brings together 500 of the most important companies in the US, has suffered a 7.39% drop in a month and is at levels of six months ago, just before the US presidential elections. The debacle has been especially notable for large technological ones, and cryptocurrencies have also suffered a remarkable collapse. What is happening? A drop of 5.5 billion dollars. According to The Kobeissi Letterin the last two months both the S&P 500 index and the cryptodivsis segment have seen how 5.5 billion dollars have evaporated. Most of these losses have occurred in the last month, and For example The Nasdaq is just 8% of falling to entering a bearish market for the first time since 2022 “. Investors don’t feel like risk. These experts speak of a sudden change in the “appetite for risk” and we have gone from “extreme greed” to “extreme fear”, which has made many investors rescue their positions to collect benefits. Risks to the US economy in 2025. The investment firm Apollo Global Management He pointed out in December that foresee a 0% probabilities of recession in the US in 2025, but that there was also 90% chance of tariffs starting (as it has been). To this is joined by the fact that cryptocurrencies, which had generated great expectation in 2024, now seem to be generating concernfor example after Trump’s announcement to create a strategic cryptor. Tariffs and fear of recession, probable causes. These forecasts are of course potential arguments to explain these great falls. The Aggressive tariff policy by Donald Trump and the fear of a recession – which the president himself He did not rule out– They are there, and have affected both the stock market values ​​and cryptocurrencies, which have been especially impacted. The “seven magnificent” in free fall. Apple (5%), Microsoft (2%), Alphabet (4%), Amazon (2%), Nvidia, Meta (4%) and Tesla (15%) have experienced significant falls. According to CNBC They lost 750,000 million dollars on Monday: it was the worst day of Nasdaq since 2022. These shares are 14% below their (recent) maximum values. And the crypts, even worse. In the last month Bitcoin has lost more than 15% of its value and It has passed of $ 97,000 levels to the current 81,000. Ethereum is having even worse: It has fallen almost 28 % in the same period. Other crypts such as XRP, Sun or Doge have recorded milder falls between 3% and 6%, but one thing is clear: the crypto segment continues to spread what happens in the technological one. In Europe (for the moment) the bags are not so affected. That volatility of the US Stock Exchange has impacted European stock markets, but for now it has not done so remarkably. The France of France and the FTSE of London fell about 0.9% and the Dax of Germany 1.75%. Meanwhile, in Spain Ibex 35 fell 1.41%, but the next few days and weeks will undoubtedly decisive for the march of markets.

What is really known (and what is not) about what will happen to cars with B label in Spain, the ZBE and their restrictions

by

All municipalities of more than 50,000 inhabitants in Spain should already have a low broadcast area. We say that “they should” because it is what is established in the Law 7/2021, of May 20, on Climate Change and Energy Transitiona rule that is overlooking in many cases. So much so that the Ministry for Energy Transition and Demographic Challenge It has a map where it collects all the cities that have a Active Zbe At the moment. According to the data collected in it, just a third of the cities that in 2023 should already have an active space of low emissions, currently apply some type of restriction. In total, 151 cities in Spain They should have launched some type of standard to improve air quality and reduce the volume of traffic but two years after it was mandatory to apply the standard, Only 51 cities have some restriction active of this type. These restrictions, however, do not have to be the same in each city, so it is interesting to go to the map if you plan to go by car to a city that applies a zbe in its city or part of it. This is the current situation and how it affects cars with stickers B. Restrictions that do not apply in the same way When the new standard was written, it was noted that cities of more than 50,000 inhabitants would have to implement a low emissions zone to improve air quality. But at no time was a homogenized protocol for Spain. This was something that cities complained. The government’s proposal is that Each city had to take action to improve air quality in one way or another and, in fact, published a document where it was explained what kind of measures could be taken and why each city could decide which path to undertake. In that document it was explained that a low emissions area could cover a complete city (Barcelonafor example), apply radial restrictions from less hard inside (Madrid) or, simply, impose low emissions areas in very specific places with the aim of preserving some especially interesting areas such as schools, hospitals or parks (Seville). In the drafting of the norm, possible sanctions were not established if the obligation was breached and not put on clear objectives of improvement in air quality. You simply talk about that, improve current data. This has led to the consistories rarely want to wet their hands, aware of the image damage that can cause hundreds, thousands or tens of thousands of cars of circulation. Hence, cities like Seville barely apply their low emissions zone in very specific spaces (In this case the island of La Cartuja) or in a few streets in the city center (Saragossa). Or what Madrid will back their own rules Just a few days before starting to fine. In other cities, such as Fuenlabradarestrictions are especially lax. For example, here a vehicle without distinctive cannot use the area of ​​low emissions (of a few streets) as a crossing but can access its interior to buy or do any other message. It is only required that the vehicle be at least eight and a half minutes inside so as not to be fined. And we have the case of Segovia that only applies the restrictions to its historic center (the walled enclosure) but, nevertheless, it will punish cars with DGT label, a especially particular case. Is there anything new with the DGT sticatin B? We could say no. It’s a “Run Run” that has been playing since 2023 And he has returned. In recent days, articles and mentions of social networks have been generalized in which cars with Environmental Bad B of the DGT (Gasoline after 2000 and prior to 2006 and diesel after 2006 and prior to 2014) will be expelled from the cities or will suffer severe restrictions. At the moment, the only city that is fine for the use of a car with sticatin B in a space of low emissions zone is Segovia. He does, as we said, in his old town, in what is known as Walled enclosure. This space cannot enter cars without an environmental distinctive of the DGT or those with stickers B. For the rest, there is nothing active right now and great changes are not expected in the coming years. For example, in Madrid there are active restrictions on the B sticker but it only forces to park the car in an underground parking in the known as low -protection center emissions area, which was known as Central Madrid. The rest are projects that should begin to be applied in the coming years. The most ambitious is that of Catalonia. The Generalitat approved its summer its Air Quality Plan Horizon 2027. It establishes that, from January 1, 2028cities with more than 50,000 inhabitants in Catalonia must impose circulatory restrictions on vehicles with a environmental label B of the DGT. That is, in Barcelona and the rest of the cities with more than 50,000 inhabitants, they should impose some type of restriction on these cars (there is no talk of prohibition, yes, so they can be temporary restrictions such as those that now applies the Barcelona Metropolitan Area to cars without DGT label). In addition, exceptions are established for socio -economic reasons and two entries per month to the restricted area for non -residents and up to 52 days a year for residents. It is also specified that these standards will be applied to all the municipalities of More than 20,000 inhabitants As of January 1, 2030. The other big city that has a similar project is Bilbao. The low broadcast area is at this time very small, just two square kilometers, and only applies from Monday to Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. whenever it is working day. Two types of restrictions have been established: Residents who had the car with stickers B of the registered DGT before June 15, 2024 in the city, … Read more

The Government has been launching the “pajorte” for months. Spanish porn platforms are already noticing their impact

by

“Before watching this video for adults, please show me your porn card.” That was in July 2024 the idea of ​​the government to prevent minors from accessing pornographic content on the Internet. That hypothetical Pajorto It seems to have stayed in anyone’s land, however, because … Does anyone know where it is? Pajorto. The popularly known as porn card or “pajorte” had as an official name “Beta Digital”. That it was nothing more than a mobile application that thanks to the use of public or private keys would allow the user’s age to verify and give access to online pornographic content. Doubts everywhere. Soon many doubts appeared –even legal– On the viability of a very complex project at the technical level and With a little reach In our country. In addition, governments have centuries trying to put doors to porn And they never went too well. Pajorte, theoretically in tests. As they point out In the countryPajorte still does not exist even though it should have been ready for the “end of summer” of 2024. That was at least the promise of the then Minister of Digital Transformation, José Luis Escrivá. His successor, Óscar López, declared in the Senate On February 26 that the digital portfolio “is being reviewed at the National Cryptological Center to have all the security, because it has to give guarantees to all citizens.” Even so, according to the Vanguardia López, he said that the government “has found a solution to guarantee privacy and verify age” and that the Spanish tool is being “study in Europe and the same within a year all of Europe is applying it.” European digital identity (EIDAS2). The European Union It has been for years working on the call ‘European Digital Identity Wallet‘, a kind of digital identity card that will unify DNI, passwords and all payments in the same application. That initiative He is not exempt from criticismbut theoretically it will end up being implemented in November 2027 although the barriers are still important. Spain tried to advance with this digital portfolio focusing on solving the problem of access to the porn of minors, but the Spanish initiative has ended up becoming a recurring meme. Picture traffic drop. The Cumloouder Adult Content website, of the Asturiana Techpump company, asks its users in Barcelona and Madrid to choose an age verification system to access its contents. On the one hand, an app similar to Beta Digital Portfolio that makes the introduction of the DNI necessary. The second, an age estimate based on an image of the user’s face. Responsible for this platform explained in the country how their traffic has fallen 85% after implementing this system. Of the 15% who end up accessing “3.38% do the verification and 11.7% make the estimation with AI, it is almost four times more practically those who put their face.” Porn (national) would have to close. For those responsible for Cumlouder, a 85% drop in your business would be catastrophic. “The traffic is business. If we get to do it for all Spain, we go down blind,” said Javier Fernández, head of Techpump technology in statements to El País. Data privacy and protection. Pojorto will only affect Spanish porn platforms, which as we said are the ones that users use the least in our country. Despite this, this measure could harm them because the lack of legal clarity is worrying. The CNMC has processed several files for the application of the 2022 audiovisual lawwhich forces to take necessary measures for the protection of minors in this area. Better leave the business. In fact, the regulations are causing a blunt effect on that industry. “There is no system in the market that complies with the new audiovisual law without violating data protection rights,” explained one of those affected by regulation. He ended up selling the domain and eliminating the content “to avoid possible sanctions that could take me to bankruptcy.” The CNMC already fined 308,529 euros to Techpump Because of their zero age control, and these types of sanctions can be a death sentence for smaller platforms. Possible solution: no free content. The failure of the verification system has caused Techpump to choose to move on to a payment gateway, which will make it filter first with a credit card. From there they intend to create a verification system to offer it to other adult content platforms. The CNMC already indicated that the card payment is not enough to verify that a person is of legal age. United Kingdom, a parallel example. The British country also has been promoting measures to protect minors from access to pornography. His Online Safety Act It raises alternatives for identification and access to these contents, among which are a photographic identification, an age estimate, credit card checks or with digital identity services. However, there is no unique or definitive system, but It is supposed According to the British regulator, ofcom, which “by July 2025, all platforms must have a very effective age guarantee solution to protect children under 18.” Impossible to put doors to the field. All this leads to the colossal challenge of being able to control access to pornographic content by minors, something that seems almost impossible despite the efforts of Spain or the European Union. There is still room for options, of course, but the possible disadvantages – especially in privacy and limitation of freedoms – can be insurmountable obstacles to these projects.

The recipe for the greatest robbery of cryptocurrencies in history

by

When we buy cryptocurrencies from an application, we usually leave our assets stored directly on the platform itself. This means that the safety of our investments depends on a digital purse managed by a third party. But experience shows that these applications are not 100% armored against computer attacks, so our assets could end up being violated or even stolen. Many bybit users, One of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the worldThey have recently suffered an unprecedented blow. A group of cybercriminals linked to North Korea He has perpetrated the greatest robbery of cryptodivisas in history. An attack that not only affected the platform, but also leaves key lessons on the safety and risks of the crypto ecosystem. An unprecedented robbery. As we mentioned a few weeks agoon February 21 Bybit suffered a serious security failure that resulted in the theft of 1.5 billion dollars in cryptocurrencies. But how is it possible that a platform that manages about 20,000 million dollars in deposits has been the victim of an attack of such magnitude? Let’s see. The origin of the attack. Computer attacks rarely occur for a single failure. In most cases, they are the combination of several factors that ends up opening the door to a security gap. That is exactly what happened in the recent attack on Bybit, whose outcome could have been avoided if measures had been taken on time. In July 2024, the cybersecurity firm Check Point published a technical report in which he warned about a weakness in SAFEfree software used in cryptocurrency operations. According to the document, the Exectransaction function could be exploited to manipulate transaction data and execute malicious code. Between three and four months before the attack, the CEO of Bybit, Ben Zhou, admitted that his team had already detected compatibility problems between Safe and its security systems. But the warning did not translate into concrete measures. “We should have updated and away from Safe,” Zhou acknowledged in an interview with The New York Times. An invisible trap. On February 21, shortly before midnight, Ben Zhou, CEO of Bybit, connected from home to approve, along with two other executives, an important transfer from Ether from a multisig account linked to the platform. A routine operation in appearance, but would end in disaster. To sign the transaction, he used his Ledger physical wallet, trusting the information that the interface showed on his computer. In the eyes of the signatories, everything seemed in order: addresses, amounts and functions coincided with what was expected. But what they did not know was that the attackers had already committed part of Safe’s infrastructure. A malicious code inserted in the system manipulated the information on the screen, causing Zhou and his team to approve, without knowing it, a fraudulent transaction. The result was inevitable: the funds ended in a purse controlled by the attackers. Everything was recorded in the blockchain, but it was too late. Panic call. Around 30 minutes later, the financial director (CFO) of Bybit telephoned Zhou in a trembling voice: “The entire Ether has disappeared.” Zhou departed without delay towards the Bybit offices in Singapore and initiated an internal crisis protocol known as P-1 where all members of the leadership team are awakened. But there were little to do. Transactions of this type cannot be reversed. Their efforts focused on investigating what happened, giving tranquility to customers and applying changes to improve security. A brilliant strategy. The problem was not in the intelligent contract code or in the Multisig system. There was no failure in these points, but a well -orchestrated trap: the attackers manipulated the interface and the signature flow, deceiving the signatories to authorize false transactions without realizing it. And there is the true nightmare: you can count on multiple signatures and high level, but if everyone sees the same and what they see is a hoax, the attack is consumed without major obstacles.

In China they are preparing their children for the future. The next course will begin to give a subject of AI

by

Students are about to learn artificial intelligence. Not by themselves (which also), but as part of the educational program. Beijing has declared the implementation of an initiative that will be dedicated to the children of primary, secondary and baccalaureate will form in this area. Eight hours a year. According to the official statement“From the autumn semester of 2025, all the primary and secondary schools of Beijing will provide general education in artificial intelligence, with a minimum of eight annual teaching hours. The courses may be independent or integrate into subjects such as information technology, sciences and practical activities. Innovative teaching approaches will be adopted, including the use of artificial intelligence assistants and project -based learning assistants interactive “. They seem few, but it may be just the beginning. The truth is that eight hours dedicated to AI seem few in a whole course, but it is a minimum that of course can grow. Moreover, in that statement it is indicated that “a mechanism of collaboration between universities, companies and secondary schools will be established to form exceptional talent students in artificial intelligence.” And training for teachers. Of course, teachers will be needed to teach these classes, and therefore in Beijing “teachers from different disciplines such as computer science, mathematics and technology will be trained to teach education in AI.” Impulse for education. The Deepseek phenomenon seems to have given wings to the initiatives aimed at winning the AI ​​career. Schools may launch these courses as an additional subject or as part of other subjects related to technology. AI everywhere. As they point out In Bloombergthis initiative is part of that effort of the Chinese government to ensure that AI infiltrates in various levels. Last week, for example, the Government Congress support The application of large language models and the development of a new generation of manufacturing equipment with integrated. Estonia has already taken a similar step. Other countries have already announced initiatives in this regard. Estonia He became In the first country in the world to integrate the Chatgpt.edu service in its national education system. As of September 1, 2025, 20,000 high school students and 3,000 teachers will have free access to these tools. It will be interesting to see if other countries end up making similar movements. Of course, this is an interesting long -term commitment. Image | David Wooo In Xataka | China has declared the war on private school: why he predicted the prolific “tutorials”

thousands and thousands of Chinese studying at universities

by

According to a group of researchers from the Paulson Institute in Chicago (USA) 38% of experts in artificial intelligence (AI) that develop their professional career in the US It has formed at Chinese universities. In fact, this American institution has concluded that In the US there are more Chinese experts in AI than professionals with a strictly American origin. This, According to Nikkei Asiasome experts in the industry concern due to the possibility that China decides to repatriate their students and researchers from the US to reinforce their AI industry. Some of the best centers dedicated to the science and technology on the planet are in China. The Tsinghua University of Beijing, the Jiao Tong University of Shanghai, the Zhejiang University of Hangzhou, the University of Science and Technology of Hefei or the University of Technology of South China, in Canton, are just a few. All of them have something important in common: they are world reference centers in technology, innovation and applied science. And many of his students are working in the US. At the current situation It is understandable that some American experts are concerned about the possibility of losing these qualified personnel. China wants to “build a strong educational nation” The Chinese education system works. The Government led by Xi Jinping is very aware that the country’s competitiveness In full struggle with the US For world supremacy depends largely on its scientific capacity. If we stick to the development of AI, which is undoubtedly the pitch in which these two superpowers are playing their best cards, it is evident that China advances at an amazing speed. The success of Deepseek supports both the proper functioning of the Chinese education system and the high competitiveness that this country has achieved despite US sanctions and his allies. High-Flyer, the Deepseek matrix, consists of Chinese researchers trained in the best universities in the country In fact, High-Flyer, the Deepseek parent company, is essentially constituted by Chinese researchers who have formed in the best universities in the country. Many of them come from the institutions that I have mentioned a few lines above. The government knows that this asset cannot waste, which in January led him to implement A National Action Plan that pursues “build a strong educational nation.” In addition, this strategy must be consolidated in just a decade. In 2035. Nothing is bad as a purpose. However, this is not all. Several Chinese elite universities They have announced His intention to expand his curricula with the objective of prioritizing the strategic needs of the country. AI is one of them. As we have seen, China already has a lot of scientific talent, and presumably in the medium term it will have more. Maybe much more. And, curiously, Depseek has something to say in this strategy. In fact, some university centers are already using this AI to teach training courses expressly dedicated to this discipline, although this plan does not only affect university students; Primary and secondary schools will also begin to train their students in AI.

Google hoped that the new US government would save him from “chopping” in several companies. Bad news

by

It doesn’t matter when you read this, it is almost certain that in the last hours you have used some Google service. Maybe you have sent an email in Gmail, received a message on your Android mobile, sailed with Chrome or made a google search. The company dominates so many aspects of digital life that is difficult to escape its ecosystem. But with that power the problems also come: antitrust authorities have been pressing years To detach from some divisions, and a possible separation is getting closer. DOJ VS. Google. The pulse between Google and the US authorities is not new. In October 2020, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and eleven state prosecutors They filed a lawsuit accusing Mountain View company to monopolize internet searches. After years of litigation, in August last year, federal judge Amit P. Mehta failed against him, concluding that the technological giant had maintained his domain in the searches market by imposing entry barriers that hindered competition. One of its main strategies has been to pay mobile manufacturers such as Apple to ensure be the default search engine on its devices. A bold measure on the table. Throughout history, the authorities have intervened to stop the domain of large companies, although the most common strategy is usually imposing economic sanctions. Forcing part of the business, on the other hand, is a drastic and rare measure. In the case of Google, this option went to the forefront the same day the failure against it was confirmed, although informally. However, the judge had not yet determined the corrective measures, which will be announced throughout 2025. Even so, the possibility of a split becomes increasingly strength. The Department of Justice presses to fragment Google. Although, as we say, the judge has not explicitly supported Google’s fragmentation, the DOJ, which represents the US government, has insisted on that option as part of the corrective measures. He has argued that the only way to stop his monopolistic domain in searches is to force the company to get rid of Chrome and, potentially, of Android. The striking thing is that the first attempt occurred under the administration of Joe Biden, But the second has arrivedagainst any forecast, with Donald Trump in the White House. “Thanks to its colossal size and its power without restrictions, Google has taken consumers and companies an essential promise that is owed to them: the right to choose between different services. Its illegal practices have created an economic giant that dominates the market to the point of guaranteeing that, whatever happens, it always wins, ”said the DOJ in his last presentation asking for the disinversion of the company in key areas. “Google’s illegal behavior has created an economic giant that wreaks havoc on the market to make sure what happens, Google always wins. American consumers and companies suffer from Google’s behavior, ”he added. An uncertain panorama. The presentation has been signed by Omeed A. Assefi, who currently leads the antimonopoly division interimly while the Senate evaluates the confirmation of Gail Slater, the one chosen by Trump to assume the position. ASSEFI is no stranger to the former president: He was part of the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice during his first term. Slater, meanwhile, has indicated that he hopes to apply Regulations with surgical precisionwhile Trump has not hesitated to accuse the great technology of acting without control, to quell the competition and take advantage of their market domain to restrict rights. With this panorama, it continues in the air if its appointment will mark a change of strategy or if, on the contrary, the pressure on the technological sector will continue to increase. Wasn’t Trump hope? Before even being elected president, several technological leaders went to him in search of solutions. Tim Cook, from Apple, for example, called him to complain of the regulatory approach of the European Union, to which Trump responded with a promise: he would not allow them to take advantage of US companies. SUCTAR PICHAI, from Google, shared a meal with himalthough the details of that conversation are still a mystery. The company itself also donated a million dollars at the bottom of his inauguration. Now, with a judicial ruling that could force her to divide, Google has already announced that she will appeal the decision to avoid the dreaded chopstick. Effects throughout the ecosystem. Chop Google would not only affect the company itself, but shaking the entire digital ecosystem. Chrome and Android are not profitable business for themselves, they exist to channel users to their search engine, the true gold mine of the company. Separating them would completely change the rules of the game, affecting online advertising, agreements with manufacturers and software we use on our devices. But that’s not all: if the authorities are seriously with Google, the rest of the giants such as Apple, Amazon or Meta could be the following in the sight.
