Google is the Next Bad Thing
Yesterday Slashdot posted an article about Brin, a co-founder of Google, being committed to business in China, despite human rights abuses. I think I said it well in my slashdot post, so I’ll paste my comments here:
Google is becoming a threat.
They’re trying to play the good guy all the time, and most people eat it right up, while ignoring the facts.
Facts about Google
- They own the search records of everyone who uses their engine
- They have permanent records of millions of emails
- Their Adsense campaign could potentially be used to track web users
- Their Analytics campaign is getting a whole lot of valuable information about websurfers habits for free
- They submit the influence of questionable governments when profitability comes into question
- They stand to benefit from the loss of net neutrality (Raises the cost of entry to become the next Google. Think, people! Brin is doing his “last minute” campaign as a ploy. If the net neutrality really affected the BILLIONS of Google’s dollars, would he have shown up in a t-shirt and jeans? And acted like he didn’t know how lobbying really works in the US?)
Am I the only one who sees the MAJOR threat of Google’s monopoly on the flow of all information on the net? They will be more evil than Microsoft ever was. Microsoft never had so much power, and this much sainthood. Ladies and gentlemen, get your tinfoil hats. Just don’t search for building instructions on Google.
