Facebooks core service is a walled garden, Googles core service is a gateway into the open web. More to the point, as someone who was using the web before Google existed, Google Search specifically has helped me immeasurably over the years far more than anything Facebook has ever done.
- lucideer 9y agoI think you're confusing value and virtue. Everything you've said is true, but not really relevant to this particular discussion I think?
- dageshi 9y agoI don't think I am, if we're forced to choose between "Evils" then I will choose the "evil" more aligned with my best interests. You didn't originally ask which of those companies was more virtuous merely why one would choose Google over Facebook, I would choose Google because its core business model revolves around helping me, Facebooks core business model revolves around entertaining me. Not that I think either company is actually evil obviously.
- lucideer 9y agoI was thinking of evil and virtuous as bring antonymous I guess. i.e. I might choose evil that offers me value if I thought the trade off was worthwhile.
