Cory Doctrow describes the process of Internet platform decay "ensh*tification" as:
"Here is how platforms die: [1] first, they are good to their users; [2] then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; [3] finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. [4] Then, they die."
At what stage is the Google search engine?
The right will get control of it but it will have to at least appear useful so they can steer the output away from liberal thought. Oh wait. I guess they could do it with Bing instead.
Just tolerable for image search - but for shopping it's a nightmare.
