View submission: Why did I build AmputatorBot?
Oh where do i begin, They have a filter bubble which means you get only the information you wanna see and not what you should see, They tweak the search results to have a left-wing bias (arguable, do your own research), Google employees wanted to protest a google float at a pride parade, google threatened anyone who did so with termination, They track every part of your online and real life, train their Ai, and then sell the data to advertisers to make more relavant advertising, A google employee got fired for making a little Office Document explaining that the gender gap in tech is just bc women arent interested in it, and much much more.

Google doesn't sell that data to external sources - it's only used internally. The don't have to sell it. They already are the biggest advertisement company on the internet. It amazes me how so many people are so misinformed, and then continue to spread it. I suspect it comes from the laziness of refusing to read relevant articles because they can't wait to get the first joke or pun in.
