Removing search would be a blow. Especially so, if that included YouTube (which MS can't easily replace).
That said, it would be much, much worse, if they withdrew Gmail.
- Aerroon 6y agoIf Google withdraws their Search from Australia, I wonder what's going to happen to all of their other free services. Something like Gmail would be a problem What about Google Maps though? Or Docs? Authenticator? Fonts?
- jeltz 6y agoYes, it would be really bad for Google if they withdrew Gmail. They would show that you cannot rely on Google Suite so companies all over the world would need to reconsidrt their choice of platform.
- username90 6y agoIt would be up to the Australian government. If they want to prevent Google from doing all business and not just search then that is completely on them. I trust my government that they wouldn't make such a shitty law so I don't worry about one aspect of the business ruining the other.
- izacus 6y agoWhat if Google also stopped routing emails to Australia? All ads advertising Australian products around the world? I wonder how hard they're willing to play here.
- mkj 6y agoLosing maps would be worse than search. Seems very unlikely they'd follow through with their threats, not like ASD are hacking them.
