Good, I believe media outlets will benefit, unless Google deliberately undermine their business model in some way. As a deterrent for others.

If you have this protection, it's like insurance. You, and everybody else, pay an insignificant amount of money and you get a much more expansive treatment incase of failure. Sure you have a choice, back the politicians that are agains

In my opinion it's not the supposedly ignoring friends part. It's the fact that replacing then non virtual world with a virtual one means that you are giving your life entirely to a commercial entity. You basically lose all freedo

A major problem with this is, that our politicians also use the same inflammatory tatics to gain power. cyber publicists also understand that being inflammatory means more clicks and interactions. So you don't need an actual "enem

But you are not really opposing his theory. The terrorists are counting on this effect. They want to trigger radicalization of the populous in their target countries. Their idea is to stir up war, because in chaos there's a potential o

Science won't help you here. Ofcourse his argument is no more than a hypothesis, but you can't really disprove it because of scale. You might find a model that shows this dynamic, but it won't be a proof, And vice versa. Beca

On the other hand, these doomsayers also caused public outcry that changed a few things. We can never know if these changes are the reason doom didn't happen, or because the prospects were imaginary. Anyway, I believe that it'll b

These are valid points but I still think it's reasonable trade off. Yes, I believe the popups banners etc might be annoying, but all companies share this problem. And I find it hard to believe it really hurts a business with a valid p

Don't forget that it's not only about spotting a bad deal when you see it. We're not talking about a deal between two individuals. To oppose the deals, you need political power. I.e convincing the populus. These deals are bac

The European Union has decided that growth based on clandestine tracking of users, selling their PII without consent is not a legitimate growth tool. You know, like the way we outlawed violence as a "growth tool" Your other claims

They have zero power. The US can destroy the UN in a flash. But in that instance, humanity would pay much more than extra bucks for shipping crap we don't need. A strong AND fair UN is a good deterrent for world wars. Of course, it

I dunno, Anti vaxxers are definitely going against power. (Not to mean they are correct) I think call conflating 'white saviour tourism's with this phenomena is missing the point. We live in an age where basic trust in authority h

Yeah, it's a shame. They were a really exciting company when they were about creating good products and not just about making us the product. Search was a game changer. Gmail was an amazing product compare to the incumbents at the time

Because the amount of force use by employers against unions in very anti social countries such as corporate US is extreme, then you might get that feeling. But countries where business and unions understand that they're partners and no
