Given the cost of medical care in USA, perhaps google saved lives
The article seems to picture google like some shady, all dominating and always watching Lord Sauron of Mordor like creature.
For Europeans, being covered by very generous social systems with medical and social care which they can afford, it may seem shocking to read "Google aided manufacturers of illegal medicines in their trade..."... how horrible they are to aid in selling substandard medicine to sick people for a few copper coins. The other side of these coins is that America differs for Europe, and it is known that the medical system is not available to people who do not have the money. So perhaps, by acting like they did, google saved lives of people who could purchase the cheaper meds instead of having nothing at all and stay ill.
