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.
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
Google's crazy new-is-better-than-true focus in search results presents a similar, but different, problem though. And is clearly being gamed as well.
Facebook has an algorithmic news feed. Google has a near monopoly on its algorithm providing information to everyone seeking knowledge about anything in the entire internet. I think the scope for harm is way larger for google.
I think you're forgetting YouTube, home of conspiracy theories and a recommendation system that pushes propaganda.
I tend to disagree with you, but I appreciate the honesty.
Just curious, why do you trust google?
Google search app on Android now feeds me links too, based on my searches, using opaque (to me) algorithms. Should I be worried?
