I mean you didn't buy it before so why would you now? You don't need excuses. You just don't want to pay for it. Own it.
One could argue that we're paying for it without our consent, given the fact that Google doesn't pay anything in taxes. That's a cool four billion a year (at least) that they get from the American taxpayer for free.
One could argue that the Flying Spaghetti Monster exists. That doesn't make it remotely true.
Uh. Google pays a shitload in taxes. There hasn't been a single year that they HAVEN'T paid taxes. They paid 11 billion in income taxes alone in 2022.
