Essentially nothing about the threat described applies to Google. Nor Amazon. Nor Apple. It could apply to Twitter, in principle, but in practice it almost entirely doesn't.

About this thread. Some say this applies to Google too. This is the laziest kind of thinking -- just because two things share some superficial similarity (they're large tech cos) doesn't mean they're equivalent. Reminds me of pundits who kept saying HRC and DJT were just as badhttps://twitter.com/fchollet/status/976563870322999296 …

There's only one company where the product is an opaque algorithmic newsfeed, that has been running large-scale mood/opinion manipulation experiments, that is neck-deep in an election manipulation scandal, that has shown time and time again to have morally bankrupt leadership.

So please get over the knee-jerk reaction "all tech/advertising is bad", and think about the contents of the thread. For me, working at Google is a deliberate choice. If I start feeling uncomfortable, I'll definitely leave. If I had been working at FB, I would have left in 2017

I agree. Google is not Facebook. But you haven’t answered my question: do you have a Facebook page? Do you use a Facebook product (WhatsApp/instagram) ?

No. It's not because they are just large tech cos. Google has the means to be way more damaging than fb. Just the search engine alone, and youtube. This comparison is very valid IMHO.

Saying that google and Facebook are only superficially similar and that they’re the bad guys and Google is harmless cost you all your credibility. I’ll apply your skepticism to FAMGA...
