I just... don't... know who to root for anymore, man!
Exactly, on the one hand this might pull some users away from Google, which deserves to be knocked on their ass for once. But if this is how it's going to be done, you might just be trading one abusive partner for the next.
I say we let Microsoft pound on Google for a while and then we regluate the both of them into the ground!
I mean... There's no reason to delay the regulation. We'll also need forever to get it done - the bastards will lobby to hell and back, watering the regulation down to nothing... Again.
Don't root for any corporation. Root for user choice and user freedom. Root for actions, decisions, and policies they make that benefit the user.
Reward those positive actions with your wallet or usage.
Punish negative ones by switching your services (when possible).
Don't root for Microsoft, Google, Apple, Samsung, IBM, etc. They are heartless corporations that would take your money and leave you in a ditch to die if they could. Think Terminator, but for taking money instead of killing.
