Add another item to the list of anti-trust charges Google is facing around the world.
> "they respected my privacy"
No they didn't. Not even close. But if Google is full of people with these notions I understand the major disconnect Google has with privacy regulators outside the US.
- sametmax 11y agoAnd just regular not-regulators people that are starting to get scared about this. Honestly, this video is supposed to be an ad for Google: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olFEpeMwgHk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olFEpeMwgHk But when I watch it, it feels more like a trailer for Terminator 16 to me.

- makeitsuckless 11y ago(Wow, even an attempt to engage by asking a question gets downvoted by HN's pro-Google brigade...) Anyway, assuming you believe Google effectively has a monopoly (as the EU commission does), this is yet another example where Google abuses that position to favour itself over everyone else trying to recruit. Very similar to the way Google manipulates shopping results (but sneakier). I'm not even saying I agree with that logic, but it will almost certainly be added to the things various regulatory bodies will investigate. Apparently it's already taboo to even mention that on HN.
