    It is a shame that Google has gotten so evil. Inevitable, I suppose.

    Where do I begin? How about their conspiracy with the U.S. Left to taint search results in favor of them and the government swamp? How about their censorship collaboration with China and other evil dictatorships? How about their monopolistic practices that are being investigated by many governments as I type this? The list goes on and on. I have been calling them "Darth Google" for many years now.

    That makes sense. But what kind of monopoly has a clean conscience right now? It seems to me that this is exactly how you describe every big business in our world is run. I guess you can't grow a business as big as Google or Amazon without it.

    The problem is that they do not have a monopoly on coffee or sneakers or steel. They are the major arbiter of online information. Their biased, evil actions misinform and can seriously damage people, businesses, countries, etc.

    That's a very good point. Google is probably one of the most powerful weapons in the world today because disinformation is a huge force that can lead millions of people down the wrong path. It's even scary to imagine what would happen if this weapon was accidentally used with malicious intent. I hadn't thought about it that globally. Thanks for pointing me in that direction.

    In fact, it was deliberately used with malicious intent and in conspiracy with the U.S. government to interfere with the 2020 presidential election. Evidence of this was developed by the DOJ Inspector General, the Special Counsel, and in testimony/evidence provided to Congress. Darth Google and China are right now conspiring to censor their enemies and cover their genocidal actions in another example of conscious, malicious intent. The evil is evident and pervasive.

    Deep thought. I felt like the conspiracy talk was fiction, but you're pretty convincing. If you wrote a book about it, I'd buy it.
