Google‘s ’Totalitarian’ Methods Should Worry You

Google Inc.’s “Don’t Be Evil” slogan is seductive but misleading. It is the lowest business ethics standard ever devised, excusing everything Google does short of evil. Google isn’t evil – but neither is it ethical.

While perceptions of the world’s erstwhile No. 1 brand remain exceptionally strong, Google’s ethical blind spots regarding privacy and property rights are beginning to erode the public’s trust and eventually could threaten the company’s market domination. Anyone who follows Google closely knows that the company is a serial scandal machine. One of the world’s most powerful companies, with its vainglorious mission to “organize the world’s information,” has proved itself to be unethical, shockingly political and untrustworthy.

Cleland gives some examples of how Google has violated privacy rights:

People have to start understanding this:

To a progressive, totalitarianism is not 'evil'. You and I are just too stupid to get it.

I have google search, however, it is attached to my firefox. It states “Mozilla Firefox Start Page”.

Seems I can’t remove it without removing Firefox. Any suggestions?? (total computer a$$ here)! =)

Change your homepage.

For me,(I also use firefox) changing my homepage is under Edit.

Edit > Preferences > General tab

Like what halfman posted. I prefer Bing because those homepage pictures are really relaxing to look at.
