The more I think about it the more I’m convinced that this shows what a big mistake it is to allow one company to create a near-monopoly. Google doesn’t always know what is best for everyone else. If it were the US government dictating how we design websites (let alone the North Korean government), everyone would be up in arms rather than saying. ‘Gosh we must do what Google says.’ PS There is a good discussion on the Google+ RW group.
