Another ‘Google is Big Brother’ Story

Here comes another story from The Guardian: “Google as friend or Big Brother.” It really doesn’t lead anywhere except to raise all the familiar questions and speculation: “Google acts as its own policeman, prosecutor, judge, jury, and executioner, and you have no right of appeal. The best you can do is suck up to Google and hang on to a percentage of the money your efforts generate, while Google rakes in billions.”

Much more interesting than the piece above is James Fallows’ video interview with Google Co-Founders Page and Brin from Zeitgeist ’07.
