Google and Its Nation State Mistakes
April 28, 2010
Wired Magazine’s “Word War III: Google vs. Government” makes clear that the worm is turning. Five years ago, Google was wonderful. Now Wired identifies three mistakes in Google’s handling of a letter from data protection authorities in nine countries. The fact that Google is publicly excoriated for making mistakes is proof enough for me. One mistake is the use of “weasel words” in the responses. The second goof, according to Wired, is the company’s dismissal of the issue of privacy. And, the third is the lack of action or as Wired says, the nine countries hopefully will “shut up and go away.” I think Google is the cat’s pajamas. Wired does not share my viewpoint. How many others share Wired’s viewpoint is the key question.
