I think very little of Google; I'd like to see them leave Australia. Australians, of which I am one, are fools to be supporting that sort of centralised data collection. Tear it up, burn it down and throw it out in my humble opinion. I'd rather have incompetents than Google.
"[W]ell they can leave" is true - but the idea that that is something they would 'choose' to do is in my view a philosophical canard. Google is going to make the best economic decision and in that sense they don't really have a choice to make. The ACCC/government is the one with a range of options where they can pick one. And they should be held to a higher standard than bullying companies.
