A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Imagine a massive collective of common people that agreed to bombard advertising like this, should the "top grossing queries" list be made publicly available. Giving Google all that money isn't great, but it would probably be a new issue for companies to argue over, and it would be hard to quickly make it illegal with Google sniffing out potential profits.
