In some sense, even making games automates people away. You are entertaining people with those games. This is going to take some entertainer related jobs out of the market since those entertainers have to compete with video games.

So am I.

I think it more of a matter on how they are securing their OS. They are actively making it difficult to use third party anti-virus software.

The fact is that encryption exists and it is not going anywhere. Even if Google and everyone else did roll back to previous encryption methods, the criminals would eventually just use alternative encryption solutions.

Filtering tools exist. The problem is that they are no where near perfect. There are lots of false negatives and false positives. Filtering based on domain is easy enough but what do you do about domains that have multiple kinds of content (YouTube, Tumblr, Reddit, etc.).

People are always more moral when the morality implications don't effect them directly.

The same way Spotify does.
