Presumably because telling half of your users to fuck off is a terrible financial decision?
- rdtsc 8y agoI don't know if it'd be half, I think less. And also where would they go? Most will still be "Googling" things, driving with Google maps and have an Android phone with location turned on at all times. On the other hand it will make their most devout users, including the majority of their employees quite proud and even more more dedicated. Here executives were crying on camera saying "we lost". I don't think many believe they are then going to turn around wipe their tears, sit down at their desks and be impartial when deciding which news to filter, which videos to demonetize, which charities to support. I don't think they will be, and they shouldn't. They should be more brave and stand up for what they believe. It will make them seem more honest and they might even recover some of the PR image they lost recently.
