if every question begins "Are you aware..." then it sounds like Google is doing all those things, so people may start to change their answers because they don't want to appear they aren't knowledgeable. By saying "Do you expect..." it's possible that some of the things are things Google is doing and some aren't so you can't just change all your answers to yes to appear knowledgable.
- mehrdadn 8y agoHow about "Do you think Google does X?"
- FiddlyPack 8y agoI might answer “do you think Google does X” with ‘yes’ because I believe they do, and “do you expect Google to do X” with ‘no’ because I do not believe it would be right to do so. “Expect of” is often used to connote a kind of standard setting. I expect power multinational companies to behave ethically to the best of their ability. I believe they behave ethically only to the degree that it allows them the political leeway to behave without scrutiny.
