Thanks to many on HN who can't come up with any way to make a living that doesn't involve creepily probing the private data of millions of people, it's all down hill from here.

Obviously you haven't heard. Google isn't in it to make money. They just want to "help people". I saw it on reddit, so it must be true.

> Google's core is still about serving you information ...of their choosing.

I was about to post "here come the advertiser crocodile tears", then I found this post. Thanks for not letting me down!

This sounds like another completely pointless PR stunt to fool people into thinking Facebook gives a shit about their privacy.

You make many assumptions.

You mean a 'transformative' disruptive synergistic cloud experience offer?

I doubt it. Even if Google can't use the data they're getting from searches done via that service to target ads to specific people, they're still getting valuable data on what peop…
