“There’s a reason Google’s stock jumped after this ruling was released,” said Christo Wilson, a Northeastern University computer science professor who has conducted research on Google’s monopoly. “It is a historic misfire that fails to meet the enormity of the finding that Google is a monopolist in online search.”  

“It is a historic misfire that fails to meet the enormity of the finding that Google is a monopolist in online search,” said Christo Wilson, a Northeastern University computer sciences professor, who has studied Google’s operations.

In a study published this year, researchers estimated that about $50 billion annually, or roughly a third of Google’s search ad revenue, comes from ads on queries in which users are looking up a specific website or brand. “I suspect Israel is paying a significant amount to make those ads show up consistently,” says Christo Wilson, […]

Christo Wilson, associate professor at the Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University, said enforcement of California’s law is weak and consumer preferences are not always respected — but would be a step in the right direction.

According to Christo Wilson, an associate professor at Northeastern University who studied Uber’s algorithms several years ago, the companies could factor the price of fuel into the algorithm that determines how much drivers get paid.

The tighter rules are slowing down work at research labs like the one run by Christo Wilson, an associate professor of computer science at Northeastern University in Boston, who studies how algorithms used by internet companies can reinforce biases or lead to price discrimination.
