It's obvious Google is protecting their source of income, but it happens to coincide with the interest of the people.
If you believe that, I have bridge that you might be interested in purchasing.
Google wants an unregulated Internet so they can turn a greater profit, the common man wants an unregulated Internet for the purpose of liberty. This time, the interests of the Technical Empire and the people happen to be working towards the same goal.
Yeah google isnt the good guy.
Im more distrust of them than anyone else.
Morally corrupt people, they have loads of stolen content on youtube, that they profit from, and are still putting ads up.
You cant one second pretend information should be free, than be making money off it the very next.
Anyhow there is tons of reasons to be scared.
The internet is a new land, where there is much profit to be had.
There is no need for a conspiracy when there is a large degree of self servicing interest.
Google wants to be the only source of marketing.
Everyone wants your private data, whether it be google, marketers, the government, etc.
The said part is most people dont understand the difference between hard and soft power.
People when imaging scenarios of control feature something like skynet taking over the world.
The reality is soft power is why the internet is so powerful.
Something as simple as browsing statistics for a group of people is all you need for some very strong leverage.
