Show Notes: Are Google and Meta Screwed?And does it make any Sense?April 18, 2025OverviewThis week's newsletter delves into a pivotal moment for two of tech's biggest players: Meta and Google. Long dominant through strategic acquisitions and platform control, both are now under intense legal scrutiny. At the same time, a new platform shift—centered on AI—threatens to upend their business models, just as geopolitical forces reshape global markets.Listeners will gain insight into how antitrust battles, legacy acquisitions, AI innovation, and trade wars intersect to challenge the future of these giants. We'll connect disparate articles to reveal patterns that go beyond individual stories.Key TrendsKey Trend 1: Government Antitrust Pressure and Legal BattlesSignificance: After decades of unchecked growth, Meta and Google face unprecedented antitrust scrutiny. The outcomes could reset the rules for digital markets—and determine whether breakups or massive fines become the norm.Talking Point 1: Meta's High-Stakes Trial“In a just world, the FTC has no shot to win this case. The case is so nebulous and weak…”– M.G. Siegler, “The Meta Points of Meta's Trial” (https://spyglass.org/meta-trial/)• Highlights the FTC's challenge: litigating past acquisitions with vague theories of harm.Talking Point 2: Google Guilty in Ad Tech Monopoly“A judge ruled that Google holds a monopolistic position in the technology of online advertising, unfairly harming rivals and advertisers.”– David McCabe, New York Times(https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/technology/google-ad-tech-antitrust-ruling.html)• Marks the second major U.S. court loss for Google in under a year, setting the stage for structural remedies.Key Trend 2: Strategic Platform Shifts and Legacy AcquisitionsSignificance: Meta's survival has hinged on buying Instagram and WhatsApp; now those very deals are under fire. The pattern echoes past shifts—desktop to mobile—and underscores how acquisitions can both secure and imperil platform relevance.Talking Point 1: The Value and Vulnerability of Instagram“Without Instagram, Meta is screwed.”– M.G. Siegler, Spyglass (https://spyglass.org/without-instagram-meta-is-screwed/)• Shows Instagram's ad revenue underpins Meta's funding for new bets (metaverse, AI).Talking Point 2: Echoes of the Mobile Battle“Facebook 2.0 will try to kill Facebook 1.0 and Google 2.0 will try to kill Google 1.0.”– Editorial, “Are Google and Meta Screwed?” (Newsletter for April 11, 2025)• Reminds us how prior platform shifts demanded reinvention—AI may require the same.Key Trend 3: AI‑Driven Disruption and the Next PlatformsSignificance: Just as mobile upended desktop, AI is redrawing the map of search, discovery, and social engagement. Meta and Google must adapt to challengers like OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI and novel features such as memory and reasoning.Talking Point 1: AI Search and Discovery Race“OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, and Grok capture users for AI based search and discovery.”– Editorial, “Are Google and Meta Screwed?”• Signals user migration away from traditional search and feeds.Talking Point 2: The AI Price War and Memory Features“OpenAI slashes prices for GPT‑4.1 by up to 75%, igniting an AI price war among tech giants.”– Bryson Masse, VentureBeat (https://venturebeat.com/ai/gpt-4-1-ai-price-war-developers/)“Claude's memory feature … allows the chatbot to recall details from previous interactions.”– Michael Nuñez, VentureBeat(https://venturebeat.com/ai/claude-just-gained-superpowers-anthropics-ai-can-now-search-your-entire-google-workspace-without-you/)• Underscores how product feature arms races could outflank legacy ad models.Key Trend 4: Global Economic Realignments and Trade WarsSignificance: Tech doesn't operate in a vacuum. Tariffs and nationalism are reshaping supply chains and consumer behavior, with knock‑on effects for digital giants reliant on ad dollars and global audiences.Talking Point 1: Tariffs as a “Tectonic Plate Shift”“Trump's tariffs are part of a broader movement in the global economy which he describes as a ‘tectonic plate shift.'”– Peter R. Orszag, New York Times video (https://www.nytimes.com/video/opinion/100000010103488/trumps-tariffs-are-part-of-a-tectonic-plate-shift-in-the-global-economy.html)• Reflects how trade policy uncertainty seeps into tech investment and consumer prices.Talking Point 2: The End of Globalism vs Economic Globalization“Globalisation as we've known it for the past couple of decades has come to an end.”– Frank Furedi, Spiked (https://www.spiked-online.com/2025/04/15/the-end-of-globalism-is-nigh/)• Positions economic nationalism alongside persistent interdependence—tech firms must navigate both.Discussion QuestionsHow do the FTC's and DOJ's strategies against Meta and Google reflect a shift in government confidence and capability to regulate tech giants?Would breaking up Instagram and WhatsApp—or forcing Google to divest its ad tech—spur innovation or simply weaken platforms in an era of AI competition?In what ways has the shift from mobile to AI mirrored past platform transitions, and what lessons should Meta and Google apply as they pursue “2.0” strategies?Is the AI price war (GPT‑4.1 cuts, Claude memory, Grok features) a sustainable model for developers and businesses, or will it erode margins across the ecosystem?Do Trump's tariffs and rising economic nationalism ultimately strengthen China's tech incumbents (Huawei, Temu, Shein) more than they pressure U.S. companies? (Controversial)With visionaries like Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk calling to “delete all IP law,” how should tech firms balance creator rights against AI training needs? (Controversial) 7. How does the narrative of “the end of globalism” influence Big Tech's investment in international expansion and localized product strategies?Closing IdeasMeta and Google stand at a crossroads: legal rulings threaten their core business structures while AI challengers redefine user engagement.Their historic playbook—acquiring emerging rivals and evolving ad models—now collides with fast‑moving technology, activist regulators, and geopolitical headwinds.Final Thought: Survival for these giants will depend on agility—embracing AI as the next platform, rethinking past acquisitions, and navigating a world where borders, both digital and national, are being redrawn.Generated on 4/18/2025 with Newsletter Creator This is a public episode.

Hello and welcome back to another in the Hallowed Histories strand of Winter Tales, and we hope you all had a very pleasant Christmas.  Christmas is an odd time, as i am sure you realized. What strikes us as being so odd is the way in which it collapses the old into the new. Christmas traditions that have been with us since the Victorian era, and sometimes even further back, are not settled in with presents of cutting-edge technology, video calls to distant relatives, ecards and the AI algorithm tempting you with targeted Boxing Day sales. This weird mix of the future and the past can lead to a very tense present.  Shane Brown's story tonight, DBL645 (mono) touches on this. We are big fans of Shane Brown's work over here at Hallowed Histories. His novel, Welcome to Marlington, was one of my favorite books of the past few years, and his annual tradition of releasing a new ghost story every Christmas has become a very welcome custom. You can find these stories on amazon, and they are all well worth checking out. Tonight's story combines a lot of Shane's recurring themes – music, the esoteric world of collecting, ghost stories and East Anglia.  DBL645 (mono) is read by David McCabe, who was so magnificent in our Sherlock Holmes reading last year. David is an actor, script editor and voice artist, who has had a full year playing Phileas Fogg in the Maddermarket's revival of Around the World in 80 Days. David has that too-rare gift for a voice actor of being able to breathe life into every individual character, and he uses that to excellent effect in this reading.  

This week, a federal judge ruled that Google acted illegally to maintain a monopoly in online search. David McCabe, a New York Times reporter, joins to discuss what happens next. Then, are we in an A.I. bubble? We weigh in on the wild market swings that started the week and consider the argument that A.I. is overhyped. And finally, it's time for our new segment: We bat around some of the weirdest recent tech drama — including a MrBeast competition that went awry and a founder who dropped a diss track aimed at a rival. All aboard the Hot-Mess Express.Guest:David McCabe, a Times reporter covering technology policy.Additional Reading:‘Google Is a Monopolist,' Judge Rules in Landmark Antitrust CaseTech Bosses Preach Patience as They Spend and Spend on A.I.What's Behind All the Stock Market Drama?Willing to Die for MrBeast (and $5 Million)We want to hear from you.

When we left Sherlock Holmes he was just about to explain who and how the vicious attack on Mr and Mrs Cubbit was perpetrated. We return you once more to the beautiful Norfolk countryside, the scene of a most gruesome murder. Once again, thanks to David Mccabe for his reading. Enjoy, and we'll see you next week for another of Hallowed Histories Winter's Tales.   This has been Hallowed Histories with me, Richard Sheppard, with research and tech support by Dr Linda Sheppard and Stephen L. Parkes. Write to us at hallowedhistories@gmail.com if you fancy, and we'll see you again soon. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hallowedhistories/message

Hello and welcome back to the Hallowed Histories strand of Winters tales, and tonight we have a real classic for you. The Adventure of the Dancing Men is a classic slice of Sherlock Holmes, and one set in North Walsham. We're breaking it into two parts for you, so stay tuned for the conclusion in a couple of days. Arthur Conan Doyle was a frequent visitor to East Anglia, and as we covered in our episode on Black Shuck, he drew inspiration from Norfolk's demon dog to create one of his most iconic creations – the Hound of the Baskervilles. During another visit to Happisburgh in 1903, Conan Doyle noticed the sketches of the landlord's son in the hotel he was staying. These dancing stick figure men became the inspiration for the macabre code that is at the heart of this story. Conan Doyle was a man with many interests – golf, folklore, walking, ghost stories, you know, all those things that we do best around here. Breathing life into the story is our reader, the actor David Mccabe. As with a lot of our readers this season, I met David while working on the Maddermarket theatre's revival of Dracula last November. David played what is traditionally the thankless role of Jonathan Harker, but brought enough wit and energy to his acting to make sure his performance really stood out. It was a pleasure to share a dressing room with him as well, because he is one of the most well-read men I have had the pleasure to meet,  and that's always a quality to treasure. But for right now, imagine yourself in the study of the world's most famous detective, with the fire roaring, foggy London just through the window, and a case about to present itself. Contact us at hallowedhistories@gmail.com for more details and stay tuned every week until well past the twelfth night for more chills. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hallowedhistories/message

In a moment of toxic politics, hot takes, and diatribes fired off on Facebook and Twitter, how do you cover Tech Policy deeply and fairly? David McCabe is a tech policy reporter for TheNew York Times, and he’s seeking an answer to this question through his intense dedication to his craft. In this episode, David and Matt discuss the relationship between the press and big tech companies, the craft of reporting, and what it's like to be a journalist in Washington. 

The United States is the largest market for Irish Whiskey worldwide, but until now, one of Ireland's legendary whiskeys had never released a special edition just for the American market. Now, a handful of retailers in Massachusetts and California will be getting their own bottlings of Redbreast. Four small batch bottlings will be available at select retailers in Massachusetts and California retailers, and they'll all likely be besieged by calls from people around the U.S. hoping to snag a bottle. Master Blender Billy Leighton and apprentice David McCabe unveiled the new whiskies the other night in Boston, and you'll hear our conversation on WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, the Trump Administration's 25% tariff on imports of single malts from Scotland and Northern Ireland is scheduled to go into effect Friday, and Scotch Whisky industry leaders fear it could do "irreparable damage" to the whisky industry. We'll have complete coverage of the tariff and its potential impacts, and you'll hear from Wales' leading distiller - Penderyn's Stephen Davies isn't quite sure how U.S. Customs agents will respond when his current shipment of Welsh single malts reaches port after the tariff takes effect. We'll also have details on new whiskies from Bruichladdich, Teeling, The Macallan, and more!

Taking place in the beautiful gardens and grounds of Lough Rynn it's reason enough to come along on the day. Breifne also takes a look at the events in The Dock, The Glens Centre, Carrick Cinema's new releases and what's available in sport this weekend too.

Times: U.S. spies paid Russians for cyberweapons/Trump secret Remember the dossier on Donald Trump that former British spy Christopher Steele built that made headlines about a year ago? The one that alleged encounters with prostitutes, bribes, and evidence of collaboration with Russians to hack Democrats? Well the problem with the dossier until now was that none of the allegations have been corroborated. But, over the weekend, the New York Times reported that U.S. spies paid a “shadowy Russian” some $100,000 in exchange for stolen National Security Agency cyberweapons. The Russian also promised secret information about President Trump. The total payout was to be $1 million. This was just the first installment. And the spies, according to the Times, delivered the cash in a suitcase to a Berlin hotel. The White House and CIA have obviously been trying to contain the report. Matthew Rosenberg reports in the New York Times. Russian hackers continue to exploit U.S. cyber vulnerabilities The Associated Press reports that Russian spies have continued to exploit vulnerabilities in U.S. defenses. According to the report, the spies fooled contractors with phishing scams disseminated via email, which allowed them to gain access to data acquired by spy drones. Waymo and Uber reach a settlement Uber and Waymo reached a settlement last week. Uber agreed to give Waymo, the self driving car company built by Google, a $245 million stake in Uber's equity, or about .34 percent. No cash was part of the settlement. Uber continues to deny that they either stole or used any of Waymo's trade secrets or self-driving car technology. Alex Castro reports for the Verge. U.S. arrests 36 in cyberfraud crackdown The Justice Department reported last week that it had arrested and charged 36 people for running a cyberfraud ring that stole some $350 million. Officials allege that Svyatoslav Bondarenko created Infraud in 2010 to make online purchases with counterfeit or stolen credit card information. Tom Schoenberg reports on the details of the scheme in Bloomberg. Internet giants back net neutrality bill The Internet Association--the trade association that represents internet giants like Google, Facebook and others--wrote a letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell last week in support of a bipartisan legislative solution that would overturn the FCC's repeal of the net neutrality rules. Harper Neidig reports in the Hill. British officials grill Google, Facebook and Twitter in Washington Eleven members of the British Parliament came to Washington last week to grill tech executives from Google, Facebook and Twitter about fake news.

We love the interactions as well. Without you the listener, the show becomes a pair of guys rambling on. The show is produced and accessible for you at absolutely no cost to you other than time to listen. While we love to bring this show to you, we would love to be able to have some more fun and have the ability to be able to buy things like T-shirts, coffee mugs, devices and software to be able to do regular giveaways like other websites and podcasts. To do this, we would ask if you could spare as little as $1 per month ($12 a year) to help us achieve this in 2016. As many listeners as we have, according to our stats, we could do some serious giveaways if every listener signed up for just $1 per month. To support the show, and help us make this possible, please visit our Support page in order to find out how to help this happen. As always, thank you for listening and/or watching!
