As someone who was on the internet before Google, I want them to disappear.
People these days believe they are a force of good since they are driving innovation in technology. But they are so powerful now that other companies are just using their platforms and browsers. Almost all real popular innovation in tech comes from Google.
They have had ties with the American security agencies from the start and its out in the open if you just spend a couple of minutes googling it.
Still, when Google says they delete information, people trust them. It's really hard for me to understand why Google is trusted to this degree. Is it something in our brains, unable to process information when it conflicts with emotional beliefs?
