It’s a well-known fact that Google spies on users, which isn’t anything new. However, the fact that they are now using this as a reference in a marketing meme is insulting.

Google is now making jokes at customers expense, using memes for promotional ads on Reddit, and saying that they don’t care about you because they know people will still buy their ad-platform spyware products.

Well, I say 🖕Google! Your capitalism greed gets another 🖕! While we’re at it, that so called “land of the free” - America, aka imperialism masqueraded as “democracy” - you get a🖕too!

Oh, and before I forget, 🖕too reddit.

    I (charitably) think the fact is that they may also have misunderstood Cyberpunk to be more about hacking than it actually is, and are using “spy” despite a lot of CP2077 not being necessarily about remote hacking cameras at all.

      Its either this or its not real. I cant believe a human would green light this unless this is their final task before taking a better job.
