It’s a well-known fact that Google spies on users, which isn’t anything new. However, the fact that they are now using this as a reference in a marketing meme is insulting.

Google is now making jokes at customers expense, using memes for promotional ads on Reddit, and saying that they don’t care about you because they know people will still buy their ad-platform spyware products.

Well, I say 🖕Google! Your corporate capitalism greed gets another 🖕! Oh, and before I forget, 🖕too reddit.

Edit: removed mention of a certain country

    Are you assuming that Google, which, as far as I’m aware, is an international company providing service to a multilingual userbase, has less than 1% non-native English speaking users?

    I’m assuming nothing, nor did I ever say their English speaking data sources are less than 1%. That would be the privacy crowd that would be the ones to take simple marketing using a well known term and go into paranoia about it.

    However, if I were to assume anything, it would be that an ad in English, would be geard towards English speakers, not others.
