I can't speak for others, but my personal distaste for Google (the company) is mainly around privacy issues. Other companies on this list have this issue as well (FB, Amazon), but Google is so dependent on advertising revenue that it's incentives trend towards privacy erosion.
- froh 5y agoTo my understanding Facebook purely exists off advertisements, there is no cloud, no Business Suite nothing. And Facebook, not Google, was the company used for political microtargetting. I trust google orders of magnitude more than Facebook. And for Amazon I simply stopped reading the "reviews".
- d4mi3n 5y agoWe’re on the same page, though I’d argue Google holds a larger share and influence in the internet advertising industry, even if that’s not their only product. I frankly don’t trust FB, Google, or Amazon with my personal data. This becomes more frustrating when it’s difficult to avoid interacting with any of these companies given how widely used they are.
