The comment from eastdakota seems to be political in nature; some on here have suggested he has an axe to grind with Google.

Why do humans politicize so much? That's one thing I'll never understand, and one of the reasons why I refuse to become a manager.

Any talk that is about Google's systemic influence or role is political by definition, nothing wrong with political. People and companies have political ideologies and it's good to discuss them.
Discuss them, sure.

But what does it really matter?

Well, it's easy to ignore politics until you're personally affected by it.
Too bad for those who have to suffer under the unjust policies of others that you must surely know exist.
I summarized The Stranger a long time ago, with a remark I admit was highly paradoxical: 'In our society any man who does not weep at his mother's funeral runs the risk of being sentenced to death.' I only meant that the hero of my book is condemned because he does not play the game.
Indeed. The life I live.
'politicize' is just a fancy word for 'dispute'. humans have emotions and we still have mostly reptilian brains.
