I admire the generosity you're giving Google here, but even if fascism wasn't on the rise globally, I could see them doing this just for the all-important purpose of making more money. Rent-seeking by way of requiring an account (and soon after, a credit card) to access a feature that was once open and free.
Google has been killing free services for over a decade now, I have to imagine they've long decided to monetize and advertise on every possible channel and wavelength.
What if the big money makers behind Google are the same fascist, that are backing Trump now? 🤯
Yeah, that's our reality. I was only speaking in hypothetical.
