can't wait that Google make this decision

Apparently Google thinks it's necessary, since they are doing that decision.

This is probably what Google will do soon. We'll see!

I am surprised they haven’t done that yet. With all their feistiness against Google in last few years, this seems like a very logical next step.

Whatever Google chooses you know it will for Google's benefit and on user's disadvantage.

Google already makes that decision about lots of search results, usage on their services etc.

It's only a matter of time before Google starts doing the same thing. I can't imagine Google wont do it eventually.

DevKoala | karma 2741 | avg karma 3.14 · | 2021-01-26 17:11:18+00:00

I wonder if Google will follow suit.

Nux | karma 2855 | avg karma 2.81 · | 2013-07-31 20:43:45

Until Google decides otherwise. ;-)

xg15 | karma 16670 | avg karma 3.55 · | 2019-07-20 20:15:53+00:00

Indeed. And I seriously hope that Google's response, should this move become popular, will not be to remove that toggle.

eloisius | karma 4790 | avg karma 4.71 · | 2013-07-29 20:58:43+00:00

We can only hope that Google kindly complies.

TheHappyOddish | karma 350 | avg karma 0.65 · | 2023-01-26 06:08:00

I would be shocked if Google don't have a similar policy.

FiddlerClamp | karma 517 | avg karma 2.1 · | 2011-02-08 22:20:22

Right around the time when Google has stated it's going to clamp down on it, too!

timwaagh | karma 1086 | avg karma 0.96 · | 2023-05-12 13:24:25

Google has now said they will do it but indeed they want to sort out compliance first.

srg0 | karma 618 | avg karma 2.18 · | 2020-11-02 11:24:40+00:00

That's in terms on service. Google may start enforcing this clause whenever they want.

LargeTomato | karma 1111 | avg karma 2.87 · | 2023-11-01 00:37:35

Google is within their right to do this but it's too bad.

vermontdevil | karma 4163 | avg karma 4.64 · | 2016-10-04 17:21:08+00:00

Now gotta wonder if Google has succumbed to government pressure to do the same.

I'm really hoping and trusting they haven't.

Mirioron | karma 4923 | avg karma 2.01 · | 2019-02-22 07:24:18+00:00

I would much rather Google allow this and let users decide than the opposite.

docker_up | karma 3237 | avg karma 6.66 · | 2019-02-10 00:12:43+00:00

Why hasn't this happened yet? It seems like Google has been behaving this way for a very long time.

OCASM | karma 158 | avg karma 1.25 · | 2021-01-08 22:19:14

Probably won't be long before Google starts applying similar pressure.
