They don't own the information, they control the online access. The information, as everyone is aware, is branded by a few other large companies that have the power to construct our world. Google is kind of the modern day funnel in which we shove it down our throats.

I think the author has blinders on and see the world through rose colored glasses. How smug and contained to think one group controlling anything so tightly is a good thing. We still continue to learn nothing from history. We have this inate desire to be taken care of - at the expense of our freedom.

I learned a lot about history, censorship, and radical politics from "googling" it as I became curious.

Dude, you are toltally on the right track. So do something about it. Anyone (currently) has the oppertunity to have a license to host and sell internet. If you have a problem w/ the system, change it.

I would be happy to see Google take over the world, big smile on my face! Go Google! Btw, you are the government entity that is the US "Establishment" Google, and its employees have worked their butts off toiling tobuild a company, and then you expect someone to step in and stop them, tear it to the ground, can you say c-o-m-m-u-n-i-s-m!? Let them do there thing, I am sure you also supported the US Government intervening on the Microsoft so-called, "MONOPOLY", and basically destroying half the company, yep thats totally okay, go whine elsewhere. This is a well read and intelligent article.

Anyone controlling the internet is a bad thing. It contradicts everything that makes the net so great.

 

So no, i don't think this article is good. It's a piece of monkey cock.

Looks like someone is on the payroll. Nice unbiased article. Lots of money, lots of control over a little thing called the ' Internet ' .

 

It's a bit monopolized already.

Looks like Google agree.

No this article was not helpful- it did not answer the intial question (WHO OWNS GOOGLE). Not who's President of technology, or head of Product Division but WHO OWNS IT. Unless they still have control and aren't puppets...

 

 Google is Google, what else can I say it's become a habit- it just happens.... But not that it's not without thought, I would like to know where the rest of internet is- is it ALL here?

 

Should be interesting in the future when the Intiatives for Internet usage for all are made. More minds in the matrix.

As long as Google doesn't sell out to or start to emulate Microsoft, we should be okay....

If the world gives google complete internet control, they could use a million and a half million more machines to blow up the googlerific world. After which, 300-400 people survive to pass the story down, generation to generation of how the last world ended in 2012 by being googled. Think about it.. Google owns satellites, huge information databases, network back bones, and now they're developing a giant mirror claiming it to be for solar power? Run for your lives while you still can !

Interesting thing about google that says the most to me is that they have never acknowledged any anniversary of 9/11or any great day in America's history but they seem to commemorate every other "silly" day in history with their spelling of google on the opening page. Interesting too is who their spokes people are such as cat "terrorist" stevens singing for google/myphone on the new commercial and whoopie "couldn't be more anti-american goldberg" on the commercial as well. It's scary to think that google with it's apparent anti American views would be in control of the internet. Would not surprise me though with the way things are going.

Google is part of the cfr (council of foreign relations) google that and if it doesn't make your hair stand on edge, nothing will. added to the fact that google and obama are close business partners in this push for electric cars, and energy efficient homes. look up new world order, that might help you connect the dots. everything is about global control. govt hitmen forcing countries to borrow money they know they cannot repay and in return they tax their citizens green taxes, in order to pay back the loans. the us govt gets their water supply/gold and any other resource as payment if they default. brazil just lost the rights to their water supply. please read and read and read, and you will soon discover that the world is not the place you think it is.

Some says its great to take over, and others say we cant be controlled... Writer only informs about personal thoughts and i think some useful information. If you think that Google is good or bad for us, then pick another firm! Is Nike bad? Most of us prefer nike sports wear. Ok, as a second, ADIDAS.. We buy Sonny electronics, and talk on our Nokia, or Motorola phones. And we choose Microsoft, why? I dont see any difference between Google or Microsoft as in if Google would introduce a new computing system to the market. And as the writer says, Google really makes things better, i use google chrome, and it certainly better than IE, i choose Sony, i admire products they develop. So all these companies take over our lives, does that matter as political or social? Any fashion interferes with our personal oppinions. Arent we already stuck in these political corruptions? Is anything ever fair to you? If google wont do it, then another will!! I prefer Google than Microsoft, though. Never would have such an opportunity of seeing every corner of the world without ever paying anything if Google wouldnt do it. If you still insisting on worrying, just find another topic!! Gush............

Beleive it or not it is our own self censorship that can turn a Google into a tyrant, if everybody claims their right to freedom of speach and practices it

 

dayly wehther directly or by circumventing " news blocades ", the powers to be have to live with our beleifs and accept them as a majority rule, the world is what we make it, including Google and the Coucil on Foreign Relations, there are too many of us humans to continue living in the unsustainable lifestyle we are intrenched in, the transition to something more viable can be penny and dimed, after all the more time you spend on Google the less time you are busy driving burning gaz they'll certainly won' t mess with that, so that energy can be freed to create the infrastructure for a more sustainable lifestyle,

 

it' s not like the Rockefellers don' t know a composting toilet to be superior to sewers, hell one of their youngs sells them, it' s not all black and white

 

in this world you claim your rights by practicing them and not by fearing their loss, Google is the school many of un never had a chance to attend

 

it is one of the greatest things that has happened in history and whoever is behind it can only be thanked, and so what if the CIA is listening to every word on it, they too have the right to get an education and realise that now thanks to Google we can find out about them too and unveil their machinations, one world, one mind, whatever it takes or we will all be doomed, do your part and speak your minds, you certainly can find the information that will keep you out of jail on Google.

Thank you "V.Varan" you said it all... Without google, internet users will remain masked. I see google as 99.99% open mind set up which tells you that whatever they do, you can expect the best without a drop of fear. GOOGLE MAKES LIFE more than easiest!!!

The one big thing that is frightening about all this technology is that nothing is lost once a posting has been made. It no longer remains your property and there is nothing that you can do to change it or delete it. Everything that you do on the Internet with Google or any other engine is recorded for keeps and anyone can have access to it.

   New Comment!   

I agree with the author google is indeed, very useful to americans. So what if they take over the internet? It not a big deal. Daily thousands of americans go to google to find useful informtion. Sure anything on google (which means anything on the internet) is avaible to anyone. And not everone is sane. Some people use google for doing bad deeds. But just like everything else in life its not perfect. It is what life is. Plus i could not see life without google it makes things so much less complicated. If google is planing to take over the world or has something to do with the cfr. If you thinking about it google wouldnt exsit without one very important ingretant. We the people. Who post stuf and make websites. Eitheir way if it does take over the world i rather it then microsoft.

 

P.S. stop foceing on the bad things google does think about the good things. It supports the fight against cancer. It advertises more the billions of local and global companies. And lots of them o it to google. It is something we use daily and slowing becoming part of our daily life.
