1) It's a service one is not paying for (yeah, yeah, trackers\info gathering+. Block 'em) 2) It's one 'provider' among many. Pick another. 3) Start your own if you think a niche needs filling. For all the (R)N(C) jabbering & Twitter being bad-mouthed, GAB was started up and the SAME people were then crying, "Nope. Too much (antisemitism, racist, etc.)". Sorry, but the Right loves their own Social/Fasc-ism; very few, IMO, can handle TRUE Freedom.

I'm not sure what your point is.

If a product's marketing is deceptive, it doesn't matter if there are other alternatives. False advertising is illegal.

If Google's contract is that, for the "price" of letting Google mine your data you get a service that let's you get superior search results, and then Google reneges on that by tilting those results in their favor to manipulate you, that's deceptive.

It's almost like old-time subliminal advertising where you think you are paying for a movie, but you don't know that frames of product were spliced into the film such that you were being manipulated into wanting the product.

In the Google case, you're being manipulated into thinking you're getting a true search result, when in fact you're being socially manipulated by those results.

It's subliminal, and it was made illegal in the past.
