Google managed to create a very clean image of themselves in most heads, but looking closer it is an ugly profit maximization machine. It cares about shareholders. If it cares about you, then probably for spying on you and learn how to manipulate you and others better. I hope people start realizing finally.

And let's state it clear: Google could have a voice. They could object to the Musk-Thiel-Trumpian destruction machine. They could be there for the world. But they're not. Not at all. They serve the money. And if it pays off, then they are willing to ruin peoples lives.

Google is on the wrong side of history.

Seems like their motto isn’t „don’t be Evil“ anymore for a reason.

Can they even argue they following washed version of "do the right thing"

[–] sfxrlz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Well „the right thing“ says nothing. Doing the right thing can be making tons of money, which it apparently also is.
