I heard that you can owe money to Facebook as well. Recently a story broke out that a page got removed because they didn't pay 20k euros for advertisement. I had a paid ad once and got billed 2 months later...

Just fyi, Google has massive resources devoted to detecting click fraud and getting rid of it. But I agree with the author. While many Google’s engineers and security professionals are focused on providing the most transparency about click fraud, the majority of the company (its business people) have all the incentives to reduce the appearance of click-fraud. If you were holding a spreadsheet that showed how 90% of your budget for self-driving cars, google glass, and other projects, is coming from a ponzi scheme, would you show it to anyone?

If everything indicates that the curent work day is not good for people why aren't we changing anything? Oh right... we are all slaves.. that's why.

I have to agree with you on that one. Phones did change our lives in a day but internet was like a whole new world for me. It's nice to know you can find literally anything of your interest in just 2 seconds. If people used it more for exchanging and sharing knowledge rather than boosting their ego with social media the world would be so much better.
