Yeah because metadata isn’t important…

The argument is that you can cut Google out of your life. The reality is you can’t and many don’t even realize how deeply intertwined it is.

You don’t think that’s going deep down the rabbit hole to show that Google is a monopoly to say that it owns a few of the under seas pipes? How much of an American’s traffic do you think goes over Google’s pipelines?

Well apparently it’s around ¾ of the traffic.
