5 Evil
4 Raped
all in all, not that bad.
they sell your data, as stated in their license agreement which you didn't read
>>53645022
They use your data to give targeted advertisements from their partners.
VERY
>>53645038
thanks for agreeing with me fám
because you know, advertisements aren't free
>>53645022
>>53645038
So they sell your data so they can continue to provide their services and help businesses connect with possible customers who appear to be interested in their product? What the fuck is evil about that... You people who think this are fucking insane.
>>53644995
Their services are really useful, but they ARE a corporate entity. As a unit, Google may seem evil due to their profiteering from user data, but I think it sincerily wants to improve society for the better.
Sometimes, you might have to be a bit of a dick if it's for the greater good.
>>53645051
They sell advertisements, not data.
>>53644995
They're not evil, they just want to grab as much money as they can.
I'm ok with that since you can mostly control what data you give to them when you use their services, and even if you hate google you gotta admit their services are pretty much the best out there.

That's what most people think about themselves, evil or not. Probably the most common delusion.

I don't care about this Wikipedia link. How many times do you use technology Google is responsible for pushing to the mainstream? Fucking ingrate.
>>53645295
Why?

As evil as money.

Adblock exists for a reason,you fucking god damned retarded street-shitting mongoloid,holy bungholio shit.
>>53645317
For the record, I linked that second post to show how much more evil is google compared to other evil companies.
I do not support Apple. (except when it's against governments or FBI…)
>>53645218
I was hasty in attacking this post.
How do you figure it's a delusion? Surely humanity is capable of doing good things for itself, as a whole.

not your avg consumer does, I've heard retards say
"tbl invented the internet"
they've no idea what DARPANET was.

You sound really entitled. Go watch Fight Club -- you need the red pill.
>>53645421
Yeah, internet was invented by hippies and researchers then the army got in.

Al Gore invented the internet, retard
I'm gay by the way

No thanks,I've seen Beavis and Butthead do America.

Eric Shmidt is so close to the US government and the defence industry that he's indistinguishable from it.

Hey Party Pete from Runescape when's the next drop party?
I love Google as a company, I don't mind them having the data that I give them though Gmail or my phone, I have nexus 6P, I use project fi, I've been using Gmail for years, I've been using Google Drive for years. I think they're a great company that can come out with great ideas and products and they don't overcharge for them
>>53645421
Oh, it gets stranger.

Covers the beginnings of Silicon Valley as heavily entrenched in government defense and electronic warfare. What is also interesting is how the valley went from military funded to private capital.

That's absolutely not the point of the thread.
Of course google services are great. But at which cost?

Mike Judge is redpilled on economics, and hard work and determination, so that's acceptable from my view.

>vibrant youths
nobody actually ever called niggers that right?
Haven't they gotten rid of their "don't be evil" motto
The new motto is "don't look too evil"
They always steal data by default.
They usually provide opt out options, but they are hidden well.
You have to be very careful all the time if you want to use something like android.
Chrome and gmail have good alternatives.
>>53645038
"selling your info to advertisers" sounds fairly evil.
However, google is the advertisers.
>>53645710
its "do the right thing" now
>>53645991
It's not just an advertisement anymore.
Advertisement is the visible part cause it's what you get in your browser. But google sells your shit to a fuckton of third parties.
And thanks to machine learning google is now very efficient at understanding humans. It's not just "data sold do advertisers", it's a everything about you that make you what you are sold to anybody for any reason.
And this is super high on the evil scale.
>>53644995
Google is rated number 1 in companies that treat their employees and customers well, they aren't evil
>>53644995
I still use gmail, I'm about to buy Windows 10.
There is really no reason to be afraid of Google. I don't do anything they're gonna care about. Unless they really want to make a stink about me watching Bible Study videos and in which case. Bring it on.

You don't. You just get a really nice and comfy buttplug which collects all data about you.

>Criticism of Google includes aggressive and contrived tax avoidance, antitrust, alleged misuse and manipulation of search results, its use of others' intellectual property, concerns that its compilation of data may violate people's privacy, censorship of search results and content, and the energy consumption of its servers as well as concerns over traditional business issues such as monopoly, restraint of trade, antitrust, and idea borrowing.
