I want to expand on this further because I was saying its culture as much as tech. And obviously this is all opinion but its based on a lot of trends all happening at the same time. Around the world there is sort of a libertarian movement happening. People are getting a little fed up with being used as collateral by their governments, and as advertising data to big tech and corporations, etc. Its really growing fast actually. Of course google is not going to notice a big dip in traffic yet. This is really just becoming a popular topic. Internet security is actually bound to grow into and even more popular topic at a faster rate as time pass. I'm not a hacker, and dont have the desire to learn and never did, but I know people who do that stuff and I know people who have been on the receiving end of it. Its ugly. Not too mention, more people are learning what the fine print really says, and how tracking really works, and its becoming more and more of a turn off to millions. I also think Google, if they are doing what Trump says they are doing, its really going to hurt them and speed the migration to other things up. And its not about Trump, its about the abuse of power. EVen people who dont like Trump have that seed now. They too will have to wonder if it could be them next? Google is fine and dandy and its a great product, but they are also a really massive powerful corporation who is abusing its power and abusing its users more and more. Facebook same thing. These corporations shouldn't be involved in politics either. Back in the day both liberals and conservatives could agree on that. What happened I dont know, but more and more, the people are warming up to these big powerful companies, as long as they are not on the wrong end of it of course. Believe me if Google didnt like Bernie and they were supressing news, the entire left would be protesting outside google. But back to the point, Google will eventually lose a big portion of its power. I predict its going to be block chain based tech and crypocurrencies gaining more ground that helps change everything. So far its the most solid safest anyone have seen. Thats a big deal.
