  Is this true? I'd believe it (edit: though, as noted elsewhere in the thread, it seems like it'd carry some business risk), but I haven't seen it.

    If it is true it's an anti-trust lawsuit waiting to happen. I highly doubt it is true. Keeping that secret in the bag would be hard in my opinion. We're constantly getting leaks from Google.

      A lot of stuff google does would be an anti-trust lawsuit waiting to happen. If you know, anti-trust was actually enforced.

        The EU would 100% enforce that. The EU hits them constantly for their bs.

          Sure, and fined them pennies

            Have you seen the EU fines? Latest one is 1.6 billion againist Google.

          What we really need is for these big companies to be split up. I'm not sure if the EU has jurisdiction to do that.

            > What we really need is for these big companies to be split up. I'm not sure if the EU has jurisdiction to do that. There have been non-binding votes to split it up. And they can tell them to split up or be banned from operating within the EU.

          The Irish DPC is doing a bang-up job this far sheltering companies like Facebook headquartered in Éire from GDPR.

  This is some completely made up bullshit for the record.

    I have a domain that was ranked #1 for a decade, it always had GA. I removed GA replaced it by Piwik, it dropped in rank. Nowadays I'm not eben on the 1st page anymore, despite having the most authentic design and simple use.

      That is not how any of this works.
