Even if Google is being genuine with this article, it's still a bad look. They've expended their social capital, they could speak pure truth and nobody would believe them. And not for no reason. People have good reasons to distrust them. But having read the article, it references "these bills" without a single sentence from any of them. I'm supposed to take your word for it that all of "these bills" would harm me? There are absolutely no anti trust approaches that wouldn't be harmful to me? Sounds like a load of scaremongering, a little "hurt national competitiveness and security" language as a thinly veiled message to legislators, and grasping at public perception to protect their asses. If you want to convince anyone, quote the lines in the bills and lay out how they would affect the public. People see through your bullshit and nobody is buying it.
