I have sadly lost 'the trust and good faith' I once had for google' Kind of like finding out your stuck with an unfaithful partner. I'll never trust them again, not with my livelihood. All fun and games aside, google are affecting real lives and businesses daily and I don't believe they operate as a proper corporation should. All other industries these days have to play by the rules of 'limited collateral damage' Manufacturers have to prove their products are safe and won't destroy or hurt people. Drugs have to be tested and tested before approval by people like the FDA. Food has to pass safety checks... Heck,, in the UK you cant work with a ladder to fit an arial unless the darn thing is bolted to the wall... Google right now operates above the law. They make deliberate changes to their algorithms that routinely effect and can even destroy the incomes of millions of people including shops, tradesmen, small and large businesses, charities, community groups, clubs and various special groups who actually have no other way to earn a living except on the internet.
The Google corporation's ethics appear to be non existent and in my opinion, utterly disgusting. If you are able to diversify your income and not rely on them, you would be better off.
