LARRY'S VERDICT
" Google knows what you search. Meta knows what you feel. Both sell it to advertisers. "
Alphabet profits because it knows what you're looking for. Meta profits because it knows exactly why you're looking — and who to sell you to. Both are building massive AI infrastructure to keep the attention of billions. Both are under intense regulatory scrutiny worldwide. Larry prefers not to ask how much data they have on him. The choice is entirely yours.
