The times, they are a-changin' Not long ago, every other comment about a case like this would say "well, Google is a private corporation, they can do as they please". Now, those comments have disappeared and most comments call for more regulation. The same thing happened with advertising. In the 2010s many people here advocated in favor of advertising, and often said ad-blockers were bad, useless, or criminal. And then the dominant view became that the Internet is absolutely unusable without a proper adblocker. Not sure if any positive change will come out of this (advertising certainly didn't go away) but it's fascinating to see.
