CORRECTION: There’s incredible power to data in the hands of companies operating at immense scale.
It’s why there’s now a movement to limit this,

*Clarification: The top Bing searches at the beginning is from a satire website (although I suspect they're not far off from the truth) https://www.thebeaverton.com/2012/07/keyword-term-google-number-one-most-searched-item-on-bing-for-28th-straight-month/
