Be warned; this is a (strictly hypothetic) Google fan’s nightmare.
- 2014: Google, using its Geolocation feature, starts to heavily censor content for certain countries. Entering “Hitler” at Google.de returns zero results.
- 2015: Google buys the Yahoo! Directory and removes the DMOZ Open Directory Project.
- 2016: Google is successfully sued by Microsoft for spidering Windows Servers. Also, Internet Explorer 9 won’t allow accessing anything but MSN search.
