A purported leak of 2,500 pages of internal documentation from Google sheds light on how Search, the most powerful arbiter of the internet, operates.

The leaked documents touch on topics like what kind of data Google collects and uses, which sites Google elevates for sensitive topics like elections, how Google handles small websites, and more. Some information in the documents appears to be in conflict with public statements by Google representatives, according to Fishkin and King.

    I agree decentralized is better, but isn’t that an argument in favor of a government having more control than a corporation?

        you said “ideal scenario is everything is decentralized”

        would it be right to assume “more decentralization is better”?

        if so, then which is more decentralized: a corporation or a government

        yes, what you said was paradoxical, which is why i was saying “it’s actually in favor of government”
