Surprised pikachu face An ad company is gonna do what an ad company nets more profit.

I feel like at this point it should be obvious but because they have their fingers in so many pies a lot of people don't notice.

Google is an ad company and basically everything they do at this point serves that. They should have changed their name to doubleclick.

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain. It's absolutely true, time and time again it keeps being proven true.

In what should be surprising to Noone, Google was just paying lip service about what it stood for from the beginning. When their motto was 'do no evil' it was a lie, they just stopped pretending.

Ngl i didnt read the article but this headline is already dumb. Ever since Google got any sort of popularity, it has been an obvious danger to the internet, net neutrality and any free projects that want to exist without being involved with google. If you have to state as your company motto that you arent evil then maybe you are already evil...

It's time for Alphabet to be broken up into separate letters.
