Google to Create a Private Internet Alternative?

Posted by Zonk on from the they-will-also-create-a-starcrusher dept.

dbucowboy writes "Times Online UK reports that Google is working on a project to create its own global internet protocol network, a private alternative to the internet controlled by the search giant, according to sources who are in commercial negotiation with the company. Should Google successfully launch an alternative internet, it is theoretically possible for them to block out competitor websites and only allow users to access websites that have paid Google to be shown to their users." We discussed this topic during summer last year.

    I am in favor of boycotting google. The comply with the chineese government to sensor their content. They won't comply with the US government to hand over information about child pornographers. Where are their morals? Maybe the founder is in his small apartment looking at 3 year old children masturbate, and he doesn't want the government to know.

    Great they could start by making a version of Islam that doesn't involve terrorism.
