This is what finally did it for you? Silly april pranks which became corporatized a long time ago.

They aren't gone. Unless I missed some major news, Brin and Page still control over 50% of alphabet shares and hence control the company outright. They are the two most important people at alphabet right now.

Google got banned from China for being part of the US state/government. Similar to why huwaei got banned from the US.

Google and China are not on friendly terms. Maybe you can blame Apple for being cozy with china, but certainly not google. The anti-china propaganda is getting sillier and sillier. And please drop the CCP nonsense, it's getting cringey.

One of the “features” of Dragonfly was presenting fake air pollution data provided by the state. My comment was about Google, not the CCP. We already know the CCP are liars.

Did they also post official weather data as well? > My comment was about Google, not the CCP. We already know the CCP are liars. Then why bring it up in the first place? If we already know, then no need to propagandize it over and over again right? After all a political entity lying is like saying water is wet? Right?
