This is ascribing an absurd level of Machiavellian intent to Google. Why can't people just accept that occasionally, Google engineers do stuff that isn't profitable to the parent company?
- witty_username 10y agoJust speculating, but I think Google is at such a huge scale whenever the internet wins Google wins. That's why they're trying to improve internet access with Project Loon and WiFi in Indian railway stations. If privacy improves that will benefit the internet (privacy has real costs that don't involve state actors like hackers, etc). Many people, especially in developing countries, are afraid of transactions over the internet and use cash on delivery.
