Google can do whatever they want -- there is no slippery slope; if you don't like what google is doing don't use it.

- sesqu 17y agoAnd if I like some of what they do, but dislike some other bits of what they do, I should somewhat stop using them? Like only using Google search for products and services I wish to be notified of by their sponsors, and Baidu search for products and services I would rather not be associated to my name, such as "spotted dick"? Sorry, I won't fly that flag. If a service is almost what I need, I should be encouraged to provide guidance, not told it's their way or the highway. Especially considering that the larger the service provider, the more likely it is that the highway is theirs, and competitors either aren't supported by the market, aren't allowed by market instruments the provider has helped establish, or have comparable shortcomings. If you disagree, don't reply. Write your own damn comments from scratch.
- sesqu 17y agoThat last part was a joke.
- sokoloff 17y agoI agree that Google can do whatever they want. I was pointing out that they will only do this in extremely limited cases, because there most certainly IS a slippery slope here.
