Google's job is not to serve revenue. It's to serve relevance. What a bizarre way to put it, if Google does not corrupt its product — vis a vis its own stated ideals when it introduced its product! — that would be a "conspiracy" against those who best pay them off? 1/

Maybe Google's motivation here is purely financial, not political. But that is not exonerative at all. The political can exert extraordinary control over the financial incentives of large firms. Would CBS not paying off Trump then be a conspiracy against him? Not a great way of putting things. /fin
