      Think tank scholar says something that upsets Google. Google chairman frowns. She and her whole team gets fired. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/30/us/politics/eric-schmidt-google-new-america.html …pic.twitter.com/EI7aEkfJob

      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.

          Schmidt donates to New America in his own name. If AMS was talking about that money, not Google corporate cash, no one's lying.

          Also, New America releases emails NYT reported on about the firing of Open Markets scholars. Read them yourself: https://www.newamerica.org/new-america/press-releases/interest-transparency-new-america-releases-email-correspondence-barry-lynn/ …pic.twitter.com/GPBn767JZ4

          One of the things that requires clarification. Were scholars fired due to their 26 statement on EU anti-trust action?https://twitter.com/rsthau/status/903275519382315010 …
