I'm all for calling out fascist behavior when it is spotted, but let's not muddy the waters further. This word is already denatured enough.

This is not fascism, this is just a rational move from Google in a market economy. It feels like every time something like this happens, Americans rediscover what capitalism is and implies, then blame it on "human nature", "greed" or "fascism".

Google's stated reason for doing this says nothing about it being for market reasons, but rather for "security".

Google is not very separable from the US government, and they use illegal monopoly everywhere without any oversight.

As they always do, you should know better than to buy it.
