I’ve been trying to say it here all along, maybe with too much emotion and not enough intelligence (I had to search Google to know how to spell ‘intelligence’), but I think the picture I’ve been trying to paint here is without a doubt best expressed by eurotrash at a recent post over at ThreadWatch (sad to se you go Nick!)…

In fact, the post by eurotrash is so good, I’m going to be a complete ass and post the whole thing here - I don’t want it to loose it’s effect. Here’s a link to the entire thread entitled Big Google Becomes Big Target
.

Here is the most incisive, succinct post EVER on what the negative potentialities of GOOGLE are…

‘My tuppence’
As I said to Matt in Vegas, what happens 20 years down the line if the United States gets a president who makes George Bush look like an utter left wing loonie and his crew get into power. The Dept of Homeland Security officer comes in with a piece of legal paper in his hand and says, “We’re taking all that data for something we are working on and this subpoena says we can!”
It worries me that although the nice left wing engineers, Mr. Brin, Mr. Page and of course the good Mr. Cutts will do everything they can to stop the officers getting the data but they won’t be able to do much.
I went through a dodgy time in a past life when an extremely dodgy, fat, stinking, lying, theiving bastard of a newspaper owner spent all his employees pension money and when the fucker disappeared off the edge of a yacht in the Atlantic so did the pensions of not only the current serving employees but also the retired employees who needed this money to live.
I was one of the lucky 12 people who were based in Amsterdam and there was a Dutch Law which said that our pension money couldn’t be put in with all the other pension money in the UK, US and Australia so my money was saved.
I think the moral of that story is that it is really up to governments to start speaking up and making better laws to start saving their citizens data and I think that it is down to governments to start asking questions about this now.
Matt, you asked what are Google doing that the others aren’t doing. First is the 2038 cookie. Why and what reason - why should you keep data on what my mother does on Google after she dies - if she doesn’t come back in a year, she probably won’t be coming?

Well hello again folks. I’m just getting back from picking up my nads from laughing so hard about this whole ‘Google is not cooperating with the government’ scam.

I’ve had many a critic say “Hey, where’s your proof they’re cooperating?” (BTW: I’m not saying they’re cooperating - I’m saying they probably have already given the guv EVERYTHING, before all this subpoena stuff.)

Well, OK, I can’t prove they’ve been coooperating with our government, but they do cooperate with governments, and their stance sounds very weak to me…

“While removing search results (is) inconsistent with Google’s mission… providing no information — or a heavily degraded user experience that amounts to no information — is more inconsistent with our mission.”
- Google senior policy counsel Andrew McLaughlin.

So, do you bend, or don’t you?

Here’s yer friggin proof:

From ABC News:

Saying that providing some information is better than providing no information, Google Inc. today defended its decision to cooperate with China’s demand to censor some Web search results.

The company agreed to block some sites that cover human rights, Tibet and other topics Beijing doesn’t want the citizens of this communist nation to research.

Reporters Without Borders, a media watchdog group, slammed Google — whose corporate motto is “Don’t Be Evil” — as hypocritical.

“When a search engine collaborates with the government like this, it makes it much easier for the Chinese government to control what is being said on the Internet,” said Julien Pain, head of the group’s Internet desk.

Neat, huh?

Question:
If Google is based in the USA, but the Canadian government asks for their data, do the laws up there have more weight than those down here in the good ‘ol south? - If so, and Google dumps their load, then .ca sends all the data down here cause like, we’re on high alert, eh! - and we always get what we want from them wimps.

Another question:
What if China demands all their data - and they refuse… is that the start of WWIII? (I don’t think they’re wimpy.)

Another sillier question (because I had to ask in the first place):
Is Google really above the law? Blatant copyright infringement, ignoring subpoenas, what’s next???? Imprisoning me for saying all this….???

Wooops…. maybe my next post will be from Sing-Sing… or Ling-Ling…

Fester, out.

Yes, it’s been a while folks… and lots has gone on in the relatively short time since we last spoke…

Here’s a recap on recent events that point even deeper at the fact that Google is just a puppet of the Bush admin trying to get what they need to control you, me, and everybody who they can…

Bush Caught Eavesdropping

Bush Propoganda about eavesdropping saving lives…
Uhhm… hey Georgey… - smoking pot saves lives - but it’s illegal too, that’s why I don’t do it.

:)

Anyway, here’s my rant about brainwashed idiots…
