"Your Honour, it's simply impossible to break up our company into separate entities. Everything is just too entangled together! Can we get a fine instead?"

> While Google Cloud account team constantly gets involved with Workspaces, Ads and Google Play related stuff.

Not sure what you mean. Do you have a couple of concrete examples of that?

> If I remember right just few years ago Google was told to stop giving cheaper prices on Google Cloud based on customers Ads and Google Play revenue.

This one you've definitely just made up.

It was called "Project Hug". Based on the different sources it contained credits for all the google offerings such as Ads, Youtube and Google Cloud in exchange for keeping apps on the Google Play platform.

That doesn't match your original description at all.

> If I remember right just few years ago Google was told to stop giving cheaper prices on Google Cloud based on customers Ads and Google Play revenue.

None of your links describe them giving cheaper Cloud prices based on Ads or Play revenue.

I stand by the claim that you made it up.

I see offers (or “ads”) for Google Ads inside of the Google Cloud Platform Dashboard all the time.
