The idea that a single group of people should be 'auditing the identification of truth' with no transparency, no diversity of viewpoint, and no accountability is frighteningly Orwellian.

We are headlong sprinting towards a dark future of corporate control over human expression and democracy itself. And you're helping the megacorps consolidate power because the already convinced you that the people criticizing them are icky.

Truth arbitration does indeed have dark potential and I'll be critical of it without transparency of the process. The people in the video criticizing Google convinced me they are icky because I listened to what they say.
You're free to not give Google money and to create your own services. Otherwise buddy, that's just capitalism.
