Is it though?

Google's business model has been ads from the beginning. Search, gmail, drive, office, chrome, everything they do is just to drive ad revenue further.

They don't care about the user. Never have, and never will.

And the outcome we are seeing is what happens when a defunct state isn't able to protect citizens from conglomerates. That's what the Kartellamt or the FTC is supposed to be for.

Nope. At least until 2008 I cared and Larry and Sergey cared quite a bit.
