I'm not totally against your idea of depeering Google but I'm afraid they
will always find a feed, so we need to live with them. And if we can
collectively talk to them, maybe they will listen more than if it's a
single user.

a group seance might work better if everyone is holding hands while
the medium makes tries to make contact, which almost never actually
occurs, but who knows . . . one out of a googol of tries might work?

maybe, but then again . . . what are the real chances of mere mortals
conversing with the gods? like the old wailing wall joke "oy vey it's
like talking to a brick wall!" but the seance was en vogue in the 20s
when the namesake "google" already had his character in the limelight

"Who's the most important man this country ever knew?
Who's the man our presidents tell all their troubles to?
No, it isn't Mr. Bryan and it isn't Mr. Hughes;
I'm mighty proud that I'm allowed a chance to introduce:

Barney Google - with the goo, goo, googly eyes,
Barney Google - bet his horse would win the prize;
When the horses ran that day,
Spark Plug ran the other way!
Barney Google - with the goo-goo-googly eyes!

Who's the greatest lover that this country ever knew?
Who's the man that Valentino takes his hat off to?
No, it isn't Douglas Fairbanks that the ladies rave about;
When he arrives, who makes the wives chase all their husbands out?

Barney Google - with the goo-goo-googly eyes,
Barney Google - had a wife three times his size;
She sued Barney for divorce,
Now he's sleeping with his horse!
Barney Google - with the goo-goo-googly eyes!

True, there's no chance of talking with the higher ups. BUT, maybe with
enough activism, you could get some kinda response..
