Google almost seems like they are trying to be Microsoft number 2. They can't stop themselves from being overly competitive. I predict they will get hit with a serious us govt case that causes them to allow more competition, just like Microsoft in the next 5 years. Blocking ad blockers, controlling Android, banning unions, it's sad to see them coming to this.
- brewdad 7y agoUnlike Microsoft of the 90s, Google knows everything our lawmakers do online. Every sordid search, the location and participants in every late-night tryst. Pretty much anything that could embarrass or bring down anyone who might oppose them is available to them through our phones, browsers, and search histories. I think we are a long way away from any serious repercussions for Google's actions. /tinfoil hat off
- shaki-dora 7y agoIf there’s been one positive development in politics in the last few years it’s the disappearance of the sex-scandal. Sure, anything too extreme, funny, or illegal would still be problematic. But someone’s run-of-the-mill pornhub playlist is unlikely to make much of a difference, even on the Republican side. The reputable (and influential) media wouldn’t even report it.
