What GENIUS at Google's board approved this idea? Its not like the entire fing country is livid about the Supreme Court holding that corporations are people - which makes zero sense. But here, GOOGLE, is now not only claiming not only will *it* do no eeevil, but that *it is a person* and *it has Free Speech right*.
Is this the final legacy of Eric Schmidt, by any chance? Upset about being push aside, he's approving this kind of Google killing strategy?
The notion that an elected set of representatives would create a baseline secret test to check google's results is an excellent and needed one. a light weight check process could be easily designed and periodically launched to *measure* the results.
Likewise, all products gain from consistent quality measurements.
On top of that, Google themselves is
silencing the release of research paper about Google+ and social networks. Talk about hypocrisy!
Google blocked me from publishing my book
Many of you have asked me why my book ‘Social Circles‘ was delayed, and why it has been removed from Amazon. I wrote the book in collaboration with Google, and in June 2010 they officially gave me written permission to publish it. The book content, the title, and the cover all existed prior to Emerald Sea (Google+). However, after the PR frenzy around the leaking of the project in July 2010, Google verbally rescinded permission to publish, and blocked me from publishing until after Google+ launched. I understood and respected their decision at the time. However, they continue to block it. Now that Google+ has launched, I honestly can’t see why they don’t respond to my emails requesting permission to publish. The book contains no proprietary information, it is based almost entirely on research from 3rd parties (mostly universities) and any Google research referenced is already in the public domain.
