There’s nothing surprising here. We’ve known for two decades that Google and others treat users as the product being sold to their actual customers - the advertisers. We need to stop being shocked that the companies themselves, addicted to ad revenue, did some truly despicable things and most of the people at them (yes, many on this forum) actively enabled these behaviours and acted as apologists for them. Seriously, fuck Google and fuck Meta and if your company is ad driven then it’s on you too.
