I hate Google with all my heart. It's the only major search engine that somehow doesn't think it should show my last book when you search for, you know, "eric saeger book," even though I paid plenty for Amazon ads.
Google is the great brainwashing Matrix Sentinel of the establishment internet; its mind-control monopoly refuses to allow awkward truths to infect the hivemind. It should be seized, re-engineered as a publicly owned utility, and managed by a non-profit body.

@b4cks4w - Yup. The Italians are having none of it.
@esaeger Seems Judge Amit Mehta agrees.
