Can We Trust Google?

Posted by Zonk on from the what-the-goog dept.

theodp writes "Google worries go mainstream this week in TIME's cover story, Can We Trust Google With Our Secrets? Touted as an 'inside look' at how success has changed Larry and Sergey's dream machine, the piece offers some interesting tidbits but in the end is pretty much a softball effort that even toes the mum's-the-word line on the relationship between Larry Page and 'blond, blue-eyed force of nature' Marissa Mayer. Guess it's the least Time Warner could do after pocketing $1B of Google's money."

    Of course not! Google is BIG, it's a company, and its American!

    Keeping all our data on Google will make it easier for the government to spy on all of us and save us from ourselves.
