Google's a dumb ass company and I strongly suspect them to be Americas replacement to the echolon program mainly due to the timing.
Seems profits getting a bit more relevant than intelligence to them these days.
Yeah I'd rather go without YouTube than deal with the ads at this point they went ridiculous with it a long time ago.
Isn't the replacement to Echelon, just PRISM? Which yes Google are a part of, along with Meta, Microsoft, etc. As well as the lesser known MUSCULAR program.
Could be I just can't get over the timing of echolon suddenly being called over and Google appearing almost instantly
That said I still use Google just don't trust it really I've always felt it was an intelligence company in truth and probably the echelons replacement.
