Great little expose on Google’s values and commercial interests, made by ABC Australia’s “Hungry Beast”, a topical news program giving views from a different perspective. The clip starts with the commentary: “Meet Google. The noun that became a verb. The world’s favourite search engine, and the company whose motto is "Don’t be evil…"
I, like most people wonder how private my online habits and data are, but one thing I would say in Google’s defence is that the above clip is hosted on YouTube (owned by Google) and its still up there.
The video graphics were done by Patrick Clair, and the script was written by Elmo Keep.
Just for fun I did a Google auto complete search for “google is”, the top results are I think you will agree fairly amusing. Just click on the image below to see the screen grab larger.
