But Google is so huge that they are only satisfied if they serve hundreds of millions or billions of users. For example if you have SaaS company you would be very happy to serve hundreds or thousands of customers but if your business model

Google always figures out how to scale products to millions and millions of users e.g. Search, Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube, Android. But I agree with you, they are not really innovating. I would say they are scaling software in order to mak

GirlsDoPorn case is somewhat surprising to me because I think US regulators failed to prevent abuse of protentional and eventual victims of this porn company. The company was active from 2009 to 2020 and they only stopped their business whe
