Google-funded New America Foundation cuts Google critic

The think tank New America Foundation cut ties with a scholar after he published an article critical of Google, the tech giant that just so happens to be a big donor to New America, The New York Times revealed Wednesday. Shortly after European antitrust regulators fined Google $2.7 billion in June, scholar Barry Lynn posted a statement applauding the decision and urging regulators to "more aggressively enforce antitrust rules against Google, Amazon, and 'other dominant platform monopolists,'" the Times reported. New America's president, Anne-Marie Slaughter, soon received an email from Eric Schmidt, the executive chairman of Google's parent company, expressing his dissatisfaction with Lynn's statement.
