Page: We have to. The increasing volume of information is just more opportunity to build better answers to questions. The more information you have, the better. Page: We built a business on the opposite message. We want you to come to Google and quickly find what you want. Then we’re happy to send you to other sites. In fact, that’s the point. The portal strategy tries to own all the information.AI Verified source (2004)

Verified. Google’s official SEC S-1 amendment states that Appendix B contains the September 2004 Playboy article "Playboy Interview: Google Guys," derived from an April 2004 interview with Larry and Sergey. In that appendix, both passages appear verbatim and are explicitly attributed to "PAGE," including the "We have to..." passage and the "We built a business on the opposite message..." passage.

AI Unverifiable
Quote attributed to Larry Page from the September 2004 Playboy interview "Google Guys" (with Sergey Brin). WebFetch on playboy.com source URL returned HTTP 403. Web search confirms verbatim the key wording: "We built a business on the opposite message. We want you to come to Google and quickly find what you want. Then we're happy to send you to the other sites" and "The portal strategy tries to own all of the information." Vote "against" the statement "digital services deteriorate as they scale up" is consistent with Page's pro-scale, anti-portal stance in the interview. Marking ai_unverifiable due to source URL blocking.
