Slightly off-topic, but I find it interesting that Google has been taking out two-page ads in The Economist for the past few weeks pushing the message that you control what data you share with them, and that it's really easy to decide what is and isn't saved by Google.
No specific mention of any Google products, paid or otherwise, just a pure PR exercise.

- tenpies 7y agoI just interpreted as Google trying very hard to make sure that it isn't the Walmart/McDonald's/Uber of the industry - the huge lightning rod that has to deal with the public dislike of the consequences of that industry. It has been successful in many ways, since Facebook is largely the one taking the hit. Zuckerberg is the famous CEO having to deal with the politicians, but most people probably don't even know who the CEO of Google is. Of course, behind the scenes I consider Google as damaging, if not more damaging.
