Alternatively, people who live in a bubble and don't give a damn about real horror, like what is happening to the uyghurs, or child trafficking in the US, or the US government selling guns to drug cartels via operation fast and furious under president Obama, or any number of self-induced things that are genuinely bad.

The fact that Google has built a browser, indexes websites for searching, has an advertising business, and also a mobile phone operating system is NOT horror.

It is, at worst, a plot in an incredibly boring legal drama.
