That might be the case but given their biases it's hard to take the WSJ's spin at face value. They're agenda is to hurt google and with this one I'm guessing they want to further damage google's image with conservat

What's with all the "teeth" comments lately? who's pushing that agenda? We enjoy great constitutional protection to publish, unless it's copyright violation or you're revealing the allied plan for the normandy

I guess it's cheaper to try and extend this whole facebook/cambridge analytica story than to do actual journalism. What's more you get to attack a business rival (doubly true for wsj v google).
