Absolutely not coincidentally, this is why higher-ed has been under attack for decades. Independence from corporate influence.
So few places left for independent thinkers especially about tech. Big corporations have the best data (for publications), money, jobs.
Update: New America says story is false (will link to their statement when out). Also, I got the gender of scholar wrong: he. Sorry!
New America says Barry Lynn and whole anti-trust team just happened to be fired today. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ That's it? https://www.newamerica.org/new-america/press-releases/new-americas-response-new-york-times/ …pic.twitter.com/mSpNmTBWWb
And here's what the team that worked on tech giants and monopolies that got fired from New America is saying. https://citizensagainstmonopoly.org/ pic.twitter.com/2hhSxKzW5Z
Pivotal moment in demonstrating what the excess power concentrated in giant, monopolistic tech co means. Even mere criticism not tolerated.
"Open Markets" team is a dozen scholars. Google is a gabazillion $ company with immense power. Striking intolerance to a teeny tiny threat.
WSF has further reporting: Fired New America scholar claims he was told Google chairman threatened to pull funding. https://www.wsj.com/articles/think-tank-fires-scholar-who-praised-large-antitrust-fine-against-google-1504139004 …pic.twitter.com/k4zJc3s6jE
Schmidt donates to New America in his own name. If AMS was talking about that money, not Google corporate cash, no one's lying.
