Google admits the open web is in ‘rapid decline’ (www.theverge.com)

For months, Google has maintained that the web is “thriving,” AI isn’t tanking traffic, and its search engine is sending people to a wider variety of websites than ever. But in a court filing from last week, Google admitted that “the open web is already in rapid decline” (with regard to advertising, kinda-sorta)

And I never said that they invented the internet.

No, but you implied it, and you also implied that the reason we have it grow as it did is because of the government. This is bullshit. Capitalists did not invent that or the system anymore than they would have invented telegraphy, radio, telephones, and other such stuff. Even shit like the telephone was done initially out of a 'hey do you think it can be done?' by Alexander Graham Bell (And yes, I am sure you will bring up Elisha Grey and the race to the patent office, but even that is irrelevant).

I’ve made my case, and I never said that. What you do with this information is up to you.
