Ah, but Google often does the things it knows people aren't going to like behind closed doors. (For instance, Google's control over Android is done via confidential agreements. The public hasn't seen a version of these agreements newer than 2011.)

An open, public endorsement of something that most tech enthusiasts who use their products know is a bad thing, is a very surprising move. I'm pretty sure I've seen a number of Google employees condemning the TPP in the last year or two as well.



>most everyone who uses their products knows is a bad thing

I very much doubt most of their users could even tell you what it stood for, let alone have an opinion on its value.


That's fair/true. I should've used language that better expressed it being "tech enthusiasts".
