Got to love how binary and self-assured everyone is online (including me, I confess  ;D)

They're an exceptionally cavalier, arrogant company with no focus on improving their "products", and seem to throw caution to the wind with great regularity, and with no respect for data privacy.

Oh, and they deemed Android a worthy design choice for a phone platform, replete with all the ghastly, idiotic choices they have made with regard to its distribution and dilution (and it's utterly retarded version of Java, which everyone crows "bbbbut it's Open Source!" [no it is NOT! Only some parts, who cares!]) Funny, Android has had annual "promises" and cutesy "projects" which perpetually "promise" improvement, which they crow about to no end, and yet it's still an absolute joke.

So my answer is YES, they're wrong merely by virtue of their existence, and also their lack of moral ethics.

One of the dumbest arguments I've ever heard  :palm:. By your ultra narrow thinking you completely miss the fact that your (regular people) interests in many areas coincide with interests of google. So simply because it's google (Trump or whoever), you are happy to slam your head into a brick wall  :clap:.

They're both wrong--it's a lower case "g"! ;D

This is actually an "interesting" byproduct of online discussions. I am not completely sure where that comes from, although it seems kind of obvious that the relative anonimity, and even when you give your real name, the "shield" you get by being behind a screen, both favor that behavior.

Yet another factor, I think, is the "mob" effect - that you can of course also get IRL, but given the number of people online compared to the number of people you typically interact with IRL, it's just amplified a lot. You can often see two groups of people form over almost any kind of discussion, with radically opposite opinions, and the more people in each group, and the more people get opiniated.

As to the original question I don't know really. I don't have the figures needed for that. Like in any situation of this kind, we would have to know exactly what Google brings to the traditional media, not just what it takes from them, and see where the balance lies.
