You didn't make an actual point. You just spouted Slashdot-esque vitriol.
This is the exact same reason most anti-Goog comments are heavily downvoted. No cogent point, no interesting questions, just "lolz dae M$ and Goog is le devil" - often including a whiny edit accusing HN of being Google apologists.
FWIW I think Google is making a serious effort to deal with the huge conflict of interest created by their defacto monopoly position. However it would be impossible for Goog to escape all negative consequences, nor are they without flaws, so intelligent discourse is welcome.
- eevilspock 12y ago"How can the word "ethical" ever describe a company that gets all of its money from advertising, the business of deception and manipulation" is not a legitimate point? Are you saying just because it's anti-Google it is vitriol? Did you even read the comments i linked to?
- kbenson 12y agoYour whole statement assumes advertising is "the business of deception and manipulation", and you've not proven that at all. Maybe you take it as a given, but I don't. Sure, advertising can be manipulative and deceptive, but it can also be instructive and helpful.
