The Gall Of Google

With the image of an all-seeing eye, Google puts a question under its search box:

“What kind of information do you think the United States government should collect about you?”

I’m not as worried about the government collecting information, for the purposes of protecting its citizens, as I am about Google, and Facebook, and similar data-collection, data-mining, and advertising companies, pretending to be something else, something much greater and more wonderful (and its young employees fool themselves into thinking that), while their sole purpose in piling up these himalayas of information about me and about you is to make money.

How dare Google ask such a question, and attempt to deflect attention and anger onto the government, and have us ignore what Google does, every day in every way.

The gall of Google.
