Google purchased the port authority building in NY for 1.8B on 2010 [1]. They also made a ton of real estate investments in CA and UK.

With their control of the YouTube algorithm, search result suggestions, Google News curation, and dominance of ads, Google doesn't lack for ability to manipulate public opinion.

I'm not sure if that's an offensive notion, and that's why this comment is controversial?
