Google isn't staying on defense in the face of a multistate antitrust probe. The search giant has requested a massive trove of documents related to the probe, which would essentially reveal all the information supplied to investigators by Google's biggest rivals and critics. The investigation is being carried out by 50 attorneys general representing 48 states, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, and it's being led by the attorney general from Texas. Google previously tried keep the attorney general from releasing confidential information about the company to consultants working on the probe. Critics say Google's latest move is another attempt to strong-arm the process and intimidate possible witnesses. | |  | | Iran
Iran has gone almost entirely offline in what may be the country's largest internet shutdown ever. The blackout is happening as authorities try to stem the rising tide of protests that have rocked the country since Friday. Internet watchdogs say the outage started Sunday night and continued through Monday. Social media often plays a key role in mobilizing protesters, but it's unclear if the outage, decried by activists, will actually help the situation. The latest round of protests started in response to a proposed fuel hike, but in reality, discontent over Iran's leadership has been brewing for years. Cutting internet access shows that the government is probably rattled by its citizens' demonstrations. | |  | | Chick-fil-A
Is Chick-fil-A adding a side of social progress to its menu? The fast food chain announced it will no longer donate to two major charities that have been criticized as anti-LGBTQ. Chick-fil-A said it won't donate to the Salvation Army or the Fellowship of Christian Athletes in favor of charities that focus exclusively on education, homelessness and hunger. The chain and its delicious chicken sandwiches have long been a subject of debate and moral conflict, held up by conservatives as a rare corporation that sticks to ostensibly conservative Christian principles and decried by others for supporting groups that discriminate against LGBTQ communities. Gay rights organization GLAAD says Chick-fil-A's news should be greeted with "cautious optimism." | | | Content By: CNN Underscored | | |  |  People are talking about these. Read up.
