Josh,

That’s a great idea, and I would love to start a petition to encourage Google to put into practice their ideal of “Don’t Be Evil”. I don’t think it would be effective though, because Google is 100% controlled by the two founders. They have 67% of the votes through questionable Class B shares, and have their own agendas to push. I’m convinced Google was secretly pushing for an end to net neutrality. Think about it. Ending net neutrality raises the cost of entry to be the next Google. They’re ensuring their future. Brin showing up to congress last minute in a t-shirt and jeans and wondering why no one would listen to him about neutrality is a ploy. He knows how lobbying works in the US, and if he really stood to loose from the current bill he would have made a much more effective move to protect his BILLIONS.

Here’s an email I wrote to Google dated February 2nd, 2006

“I’ve been reading a lot about Tibet since I’m traveling there next year, and the fact that Google is blocking information about Tibetan independence is certainly not in line with making the worlds information accessible.”

How do those Commandments do anything for Google’s profit margin? That’s the end of any discussion if they don’t help google….just reality.

The part about helping people in a repressive government wouldn’t be a good idea. I know it sounds good but they really need understand the governments policys.

But I do like the part about helping open source software.
