It's a well-known fact that Google spies on users, which isn't anything new. However, the fact that they are now using this as a reference in a marketing meme is insulting.

Google is now making jokes at customers expense, using memes for promotional ads on Reddit, and saying that they don't care about you because they know people will still buy their ad-platform spyware products.

Well, I say 🖕Google! Your corporate capitalism greed gets another 🖕! Oh, and before I forget, 🖕too reddit.

Edit: removed mention of a certain country 😘

Or maybe, just hear me out on this. The "I spy" is in reference to the content of the ad. And nothing more.

You're probably right to be honest, buuuut they could've used this wording to attract media. More we post about Google, more people know about google.
