> manipulate user behavior so that they buy the stuff advertisers sell them
google.com started as an ad-supported web search engine and evolved into a web-supported ad search engine.
Google does have some non-advertising businesses however.
- yedava 3y agoI actually wanted to buy a Google One plan, but when I read their terms of service[1], it said that my data still is subjected to their privacy policy[2]. Which means Google can still sell my data to advertisers, even if I were to pay for the service. 1. https://one.google.com/terms-of-service https://one.google.com/terms-of-service 2. https://policies.google.com/privacy#whycollect https://policies.google.com/privacy#whycollect
