Food For Thought
RE: CM tweets tonight
What Ron clearly doesn't understand is that Google's role in this ultra-specific, brand new thing that is being monitored by every single relevant party is pretty small potatoes.
Google (the corporation and all it's tendrils) is playing the same role as Wal-Mart or Target in this. Regardless of the corporation's personal interests or endeavors, the COVID task force is 100% in charge of this and is monitoring all parties involved.
Wal-Mart doesn't have the best reputation either, but their participation in the event here doesn't necessarily indicate any of the corporation's malfeasance or ineptness will be present in any way.
The sheer utility of individual companies is being used.
This also is either a signal to Google to learn to play ball, or a signal about Google that they are playing ball.
Ron obv forgets who's in charge of this entire show. It's the task force, and everything we're doing (the USA as a whole) is essentially a show of force in this silent war.
Google didn't go to help out China, right?
They didn't run to Iran to run a scorched earth tactic on COVID last month, did they?
Fuck no. Who got Google to heel? We did.
Plus this is a huge opportunity to give your disgraceful platform some credibility.
Even if they're not controlled, they're playing nice.
Point is: They don't have a choice.
If it wasn't Google, it would be someone else. That role is dispensable so of course they're sitting and rolling over.
