It'll be a problem when people are effectively banned from the internet.

But again, the average person won't be impacted enough to care. They'll keep browsing. I'm not saying what Google is trying to do is okay, but it certainly wouldn't be the death of the internet.

They'll be impacted when they can't get online on a gosh darn iPhone because Apple doesn't wanna play ball with Google
