You're saying it's not a big deal while also saying it improves the product. The debug panel is apparent, but we don't know what else the API's data is used for. Maybe Meet uses it to improve performance too.

- hot_gril 2y agoIf so, the API has to be available to competitors. Maybe this is why Meet is in-browser while all the other ones work better in apps. Despite this, Meet still hasn't won because it's just not very good.
- hot_gril 2y ago... why did the other comment get flagged?
- kelnos 2y agoThe goal or motivation is irrelevant; what they actually did and its potential effects are what matters. I'm not sure why you seem to be having so much trouble with this concept. Google's majority-market-share browser gave their browser-based videoconferencing product a privilege and advantage that other browser-based videoconferencing products did not get. That's it. You don't need to dig into their motivations or their intentions. It doesn't matter if it even "worked" or not; it is completely immaterial that Google is so incompetent that it can't even win when it has given itself the tools to play dirty.
- danielmarkbruce 2y agoMotivation is a basic concept in the legal world which goes a long way to deciding criminal cases, has an impact on civil cases and will certainly influence whether the DOJ brings a case and what the result is. It's also a basic concept used by humans. Saying it is irrelevant shows a complete lack of understanding of the legal and regulatory environment in which businesses operate.
- hot_gril 2y agoThe motivation is relevant, and the motivation here doesn't look good.
