You see, Google exists because there are governments willing to acknowledge that they have a right to exist. It's the Zeroth law of the Economy. There's economic activity when you aren't getting shot at. If Google starts making sufficient waves that enough diplomatic pressure can be put on their host country to start tightening the thumbscrews, Google will be faced with a situation where suddenly a lot of it's worth and value start to disappear. If they start having to hire lawyers left and right due to scrutiny by the government or other governments, it becomes a less attractive asset to the market, and opens room for intrepid disruptors to replace their services. Google has 'won' by being willing to play ball. Once hard ball starts being played, make no mistake. Google will get tipped. ...and if it doesn't, God save us all from the paths that leads to. I'm pretty sure they won't be pretty. |
