Copyrighted Image? DMCA | Google is different. Google is visionary. Google is the future. Google gives back to the community. Even when Google airs its corporate ambivalence publicly, it does little to dislodge these items of faith. The company's reputation is seemingly unassailable. Caught red-handed last year making petabytes of personal data available to the U.S. intelligence community through the PRISM program, Google nevertheless continues to coast on the goodwill generated by its "don't be evil" doublespeak. A few symbolic open letters to the White House later and it seems all is forgiven. Even anti-surveillance campaigners cannot help themselves, at once condemning government spying but trying to alter Google's invasive surveillance practices using appeasement strategies. Nobody wants to acknowledge that Google has grown big and bad. But it has. |
