I hope I got it wrong, really. But Google has big (and small) corporate clients using the full GSuite..and a sister company selling "consulting" to the same com

  Google loves protection rackets. "It's too bad your competitor down the road is buying your trademarked business name in AdWords, so now all your idiot customers are driving to his business because their phone told them to. All you really have to do to fix this is bid more for your name than he's bidding, every day from now on."

  > Wouldn't selling protection from unknown threats IRL classify as something neither ethical nor legal?... Hiring private security or bodyguards is not considered unethical or illegal. Installing alarm systems is not unethical. Am I misunderstanding this? Google already sells consulting to cloud customers, this seems perfectly natural and I'm not sure how you avoid it.

  > "It seems like you have some security issues, it's great that I have this friend who can fix them for you before you get hacked" Isn't that some sort of conflict of interest for any other industry? Quite the opposite, that's how most consulting & professional service companies do business. Cloud services & security consulting are complimentary. Conflict of interest would be if Google was doing the hacking and the securing.
