Any story about Google on HN or reddit will be heavily manipulated.

Just look at the abnormal vote patterns on stupid stories concerning Google...they've mastered the art of getting their shit on social media.

Unfortunately the masses are too stupid to tell and Google continues to destroy freedom on the WWW by curating the WWW and controlling what is seen and what is not.

Google killed the free(libre) WWW and now it's their ad crap box.
