Why is it that Google, a company once known for its distinctive “Do no evil” guideline, is now facing the same charges of “surveillance capitalism” as Facebook, a company that never made such claims?

Now that Google uses page speed as a ranking factor, many organizations have become laser-focused on performance. Last year, Google made two significant changes to their search indexing and ranking algorithms : In March, indexing became based on the mobile version of a page , rather than desktop.
