The most relevant sentence I’ve read all week:

Google makes its money selling advertising – it has no incentive to provide unfettered access of information to everyone.

Google search is just about useless to me these days except for the most basic search queries. It can’t find anything old, for the most part, it downranks anything not HTTPS, and it censors anything from a variety of countries (including the US).

Search should be a public service, not some company’s private fiefdom.
