Does Google rely soley on it's tech edge?

I'm not so sure. Don't they have a huge data moat that's hard to compete with in a data driven age?

I'm thinking the data that optimises advertising rather than the data that feeds google translate etc.

I'm not so sure that Google's data is even their moat, their monopoly on everything related to ads might be the main thing keeping that so afloat.
