Tl;dr: judge has no clue about tech industry and Google keeps most of the interesting parts and documents of the trial closed to the public, with the argument it would be "clickbait".
That's not even a proper usage of the term clickbait. I wonder whether the lawyers actually know that.
We can't show it because it could be disturbing! Uh, distributed, eh distorted?
Also guy in screenshot looks like bill gates lol
That is Bill Gates. The article has a 40 minute video of 'highlights' of a deposition he did in the late 90s.
