    Why does Google have so many open proxies, they are elite, https, and just sitting there flapping in the breeze?

    Rage against the narrative.

        Honey pots did occur to me, no profit in it though.

          The obvious 'answer' is "why not?"

            The cost in bandwidth, the reason-whats the profit reason? There are too many of them to be a security oversite.

              Despite the EU's slippery grasp on reality not everything Google does is for profit (shouldn't really have to point that out when the whole thing is predicated on cost free services to users but ...). They already have servers dispersed across the world to provide localised services and back-up for each other. Why not use them to provide a little extra service too? It certainly makes more sense than having a small number constantly over-subscribed surely?

                Premise; People who use proxy's are evil. Google is evil. Google has open proxies to spy on evil people. When they come out of the proxy tunnel their http accesses and traffic are recorded and for sale to various organizations (insert "organization" here that may be interested). What GoogleAd and GoogleAnalytics hooked scripts don't grab the google proxy does.
