I wonder if Google will follow suit.

Will Google follow suit?

hiddenstage | karma 155 | avg karma 1.53 · | 2012-12-13 10:22:06

Maybe Google will come to the rescue.

I sure hope they don't. Google is big enough, we need alternatives.

ktRolster | karma 4173 | avg karma 2.42 · | 2016-05-09 16:33:43

Maybe that's what Google will try to do.

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

We can only hope that Google kindly complies.

I wonder what will be the response from google

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

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.

ofou | karma 3382 | avg karma 3.97 · | 2023-04-28 11:20:14

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

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.

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

gaborcselle | karma 1145 | avg karma 4.65 · | 2013-06-15 01:30:42+00:00

I wonder if this is something that Google and Co. will also be allowed to do?

duiker101 | karma 5041 | avg karma 3.53 · | 2013-03-25 09:16:56

They already do, or at least hope that google does for them...

vertexFarm | karma 431 | avg karma 1.32 · | 2018-05-09 02:56:31+00:00

...You think google is going to do that?

tesmar2 | karma 483 | avg karma 1.74 · | 2020-12-08 21:18:43+00:00

Hopefully not. They are not a monopoly and doing so would be a severe overreach.

Edit: Looks like many don't understand that you have alternatives to Google and you can use them.

I hope they do – Google is far, far, far too dominant in this space, and small-ish incumbents don't really stand a chance. If they keep up their privacy-friendly stance, this could really become something neat. I'd like for at least a little bit of competition in the gatekeeper-for-human-knowledge space.

tanilama | karma 2530 | avg karma 2.08 · | 2017-11-16 07:57:43

Well..Google has as more than legal power to take care of itself, will be interesting.

zwily | karma 2486 | avg karma 2.57 · | 2019-01-30 17:02:39+00:00

I’m guessing this will stop, unless Google has a special agreement in place.

gress | karma 1557 | avg karma 0.91 · | 2014-07-29 10:05:03

That would be a reasonable course of action for Google to take.
