Publishers call for CMA to include Gemini in Google investigation pressgazette.co.uk/publishers/p...
I live in New York City, read a lot and post stories I think you’ll be interested in mostly about media, tech, AI politics and Football (Soccer). I am politically progressive, a dog lover and a lifelong fan of Millwall FC.
