Then I'm not sure why you're really blaming Google here.
Old hands sell, and the price goes up - let them just sell even more

I'm sure it's an article, and why the OP blames Google for FUD is that it found the article via Google Search, or got it served via Google Discover on its smartphone (which was the case with me). I don’t think OP understands the basics of the internet, Google is certainly not a company to be commended when it comes to user privacy - but in this particular case they shouldn’t be blamed for anything.
