The issue here is that the majority of criticisms apply to Google products and services _other than_ GCP. By and large, many commenters here (myself included) have had very good experiences with GCP. Less so with Google Reader.

My experience with GCP has been quite small , most of which have been with GKE and I find that to be good!

What i hate though is more about the company , is what they project they are vs what they are

``` I don’t know what would happen if the media starts picking up a theme that Google is secretly building AI weapons or AI technologies to enable weapons for the Defense industry,” she continued. “Google Cloud has been building our theme on Democratizing AI in 2017, and Diane and I have been talking about Humanistic AI for enterprise. I’d be super careful to protect these very positive images. ```

Not being judgemental about if defense is right or wrong , but its fair to say we are in the running for it. What is not okay is "we care for humanity and freedom of speech" and then do backchannel discussions on how dissent can be quelled with government agencies.

So to me distrust is for the company possibly and probably not so much on the reliability of its services
