More on Google/Twitter Deal
Basically, Google partnering with Musk's Twitter/X to provide ad
sales is analogous to signing a deal to provide new services to a
criminal organization that you find distasteful, but hey, they're
willing to pay you so you're happy to help keep them afloat. That's
the sorry reality, no matter how Google tries to spin it.
Note that this is a NEW deal -- Google is now getting into bed with
Musk eyes wide open -- unrelated to Twitter's much longer use of GCP
(Google Cloud Platform) infrastructure services, which predate Musk's
takeover, and so fall into a different category of considerations and
possible future actions. -L
