The Google letter pretty clearly makes overtures about "threats" to their free services.
"Nice free search you got there. Shame if something were to.. happen.. to it."
- loktarogar 6y agoYeah. The Google letter insinuates a lot. The ACCC just said "it's not going to be a problem unless Google makes it a problem". No more uncertainty.
- stephen_g 6y agoWell, that's up to them though. The context of the "shame if something were to happen to it" quote is about destroying/stealing the other person's property, or hurting them. That's quite different to stopping providing a service to them which is currently provided under no compulsion... Google is trying to say that the law won't make providing a free service viable. Is that an over-exaggeration? Perhaps. But maybe not...
