Because “Google” was a sensible name?

#7I don’t see any mention in this article of what seems like the most obvious way to split up Google, separating their search and ad businesses. (Edit to add: although maybe the effect would end up being similar, if API users serve their own ads but without access to Google’s ad infrastructure.)
That obviously wouldn’t be a simple job, of course, and maybe there are some interesting reasons why it wouldn’t work well.

Google treads on censorship as it regards political discourse. I’m not referring to things beyond the pale. I mean they will censor seemingly small things like bury a politician’s peccadilloes or surface something that stains an opponent. That’s dangerous.
One obvious search query string is: reddit + candidate and see some surfaced and some less so.
