>hyper-moralising over google's business decisions
People are hyper moralizing because Google is hyper powerful.
"With great power comes great responsibility".
>google employees' attempts to sabotage the company's business prospects.
Perhaps they are doing so because they see these as attemts to sabotage Google's mission:
"To organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful."
- tanilama 8y agoIt is because Google put that hyper moralising hat on itself. In their hay days, they crafted that hippy/liberal/sensible young alpha image to win customer approval, reducing government regulation and eat market shares against those faceless corporates. Now they are the new baddies in town, the image no longer does them any good. They will retire it by then and be a normal company.
- pnw_hazor 8y agoNo, they will concentrate their hyper-moralising and virtue signalling on the US. China, et al, will get a pass.
- ionised 8y ago> "With great power comes great responsibility". Remember this is HN. That saying has been warped to read: "With great power comes great piles of cash"
