What happened to the 'Free Internet'? It only becomes free once you start encrypting it. Sad, but necessary.

Not sure if that's a good thing. I know that structure exists all over the world though, in countless regulation contexts. So in practice, maybe it's OK.

You have a point. Perhaps it's Google users' fault as much as anyone else's, to form such trusting emotional bonds to the Google service in the first place. However:

1. Google doesn't do anything to educate their users about this reality. 2. If corporations like Google really wanted to do "the best we can currently do", they'd try harder but instead they just do "the best we need to do to make billions of dollars from collecting people's data."

Case in point, turns out Yandex image search is better than Google's. Google won't try harder if no one knows there's something better.

This video is a bit of a seminal moment for me. It's made me realise the information and tools we rely on and assume are true are actually just systematic fabrications produced by self-serving corporations, and are not necessarily the truth whatsoever.

What does this mean for Google Search?
