Weird. It's as if having a first-past-the-post electoral system that self-segregates into two parties somehow promotes binary thinking that collapses all nuance. https://t.co/c8P5GZvWID https://t.co/0GMrWpzLKr — PolitiTweet.org

Oracle's response, continued: "This behavior is exactly why regulatory authorities around the world and in the United States are examining Google's business practices." — PolitiTweet.org

Oracle responds: "The Google platform just got bigger and market power greater. The barriers to entry higher and the ability to compete lower. They stole Java and spent a decade litigating as only a monopolist can." — PolitiTweet.org

The Supreme Court also rules that Google didn't infringe on Oracle's copyright when it copied APIs in order to build Android. The court holds in a 6-2 decision that the copying was fair use. https://t.co/JwG9kFMRGg — PolitiTweet.org
