google can (and has) done good things for the web and humanity. there are people working there that actively try to do things that are a net positive to society.
they do a lot of shit, too. and i have no qualms with calling that out. but categorical statements of google being incapable of anything good, at all, ever, are not well thought out positions. only people who have let their hatred blind them to reality would believe that in earnest.
comparing google to auschwitz is ridiculously insulting and insensitive to the families who suffered there.
Anything that had an positive effect to the internet ended up in the graveyard years ago. Maybe in the early years, yes they expanded the capabilities of the internet, but in recent years? nah. It's all about the money.
the example in my first comment, project zero, is still active today.
Or, something like that?
So? Many smaller players actually contribute more.
It's not about a single contribution but about what is better - a lot of power in the hands of a large corp which can afford to obstruct with impunity and do the opposite of "do no evil" versus several smaller players who have to actually compete and are concerned about their image.
the claim was that no one should expect google to do anything good for the web or humanity "EVER". the existence of even one good thing is to refute that point.
but your sibling comment is probably correct. people say "EVER" but dont mean it literally, or something. its very confusing to me.
