Seems silly, especially calling it their top priority? Really? You've got nothing better to do?

- twtw 8y agoProbably not. They basically print money. All the churn around Google's other products and services have ~zero impact on their revenue stream. What matters is ensuring Google maintains goodwill so that governments won't do anything to harm their money mill - so it makes sense that controlling information would be management's priority.
- Spooky23 8y agoPeople react strongly to these things because it feels like a stab in the back. I worked at a place where a small group of people angry about certain things started selectively leaking things in a way that painted a few people with an air of scandal and incompetence. When I react to stuff like this, I try to put myself in the shoes of the other party. I don’t know anything about Google internals or people, but remember that humans react to things in a certain way.
