Login/Join to ParticipateGoogle is fighting it of course, thank god, but still its worrying... and...
The (US) news media claims google's stock is falling "because its standing up for human rights" more or less... personally I would think its fallig because people are afraid it WILL start being used for surveillence.
Anyway, I'm sure you all have thoughts/worries/opinions....

Empty your mind. Be formless, Shapeless, like Water.
Put Water into a cup, it becomes the cup, put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, put water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot.
Water can flow, or it can Crash.
Be Water My Friend.

To organise, catologue and make available to the public all the information in the world.
And to destroy all that cant be organised, catologued and publicised.
Look, dont worry about google. They are going to be the next microsoft. Pretty soon they will be unstoppable.
Wait... did i say dont worry? i mean WORRY WORRY WORRY

... google overlords.Indeed, I think cataloguing and making available information to everyone is awesome. Its still a bit american-centric (you have no idea how hard I had to work to find lays mediterranea crisps images today....) but its a lofty goal.
And what can't be catalogued at all, if only as misc?
seriously, whats your beef with them? They have issues on a personal level of course, but the coperation is still doing some pretty decent things. what are they destroying?

but what if old people dont remember anything, cause they could just store it in their short term memory, and then google it the next time they need it? only when they get old they might forget how to google, and then they will know nothing!!!!!!!!
Wow, you're pretty paranoid.

If they are trying to portray themselves as "bad boy" countercultural rebels that want to help the little man against government control, they pretty much screwed themself by aligning themselves with Chinese communist censorship.
