Google accused of shadow campaigns redirecting antitrust scrutiny to Microsoft
Briefly

Microsoft accused Google of funding biased research to discredit it, alleging that many companies are being paid to obscure Google's influence in the Open Cloud Coalition.
Rima Alaily claimed that the Open Cloud Coalition is an astroturf group, manipulated by Google, functioning as the public face against Microsoft while masking its true agenda.
Alaily highlighted a pattern of shadowy campaigns funded by Google to confuse antitrust issues, referencing the Coalition for Fair Software Licensing as a prime example.
In response to Microsoft's allegations, a Google spokesperson declared they have supported the CFSL publicly for over two years, questioning the validity of Microsoft's claims.
