You seem to be under the impression that everyone is as well-informed as you are. Unless you are calling for a centralised education system where everyone is forced to know the ins-and-outs of every company they do business with, some oversight from the people who know as much of that stuff as humanly possible is needed. This is a particularly tricky situation, as a company whose rank is lowered by Google will suffer, whereas the users of Google might not notice, and so keep on using it thinking everything's fine.
So no, you appear to have missed the point exactly, be it on purpose or by accident.
You could wait and see - they can work on more than one case at a time, so something might be in the works. To assume everything we know now is all that is happening is rather silly.
It does hurt consumers: if the well-behaving companies are not listed, consumers will flock to the poorly-behaving companies instead. This really isn't hard to understand...
You seem to be confused. If a business is not listed in Google (due to some Google business practice), it will be hurt, as people who use Google won't find them. The only way you are correct is if a company can dictate what search engine people use to find them, which is clearly not the case:)
The end goal is the same, but both approaches start from different ends of the track, meaning each will solve different smaller problems before reaching the bigger ones.
This just goes to show the dangers of relying on your own perception when it comes to issues like this. You can download a list of entities which lost their tax exempt status from the IRS themselves, which I am doing now, and (for those who automatically lose their status) it's a 20MB ZIP file containing text, so you can imagine how many records it contains. If their servers weren't so slow from over here I'd give you a precise number.
Don't trust that you know everything - double check you've not fooled yourself or been fooled by someone else. That has two benefits: You learn, and you decrease the chances of looking foolish.
You putting bullshit in bold doesn't magically make it not bullshit. You are right about one thing, though - it's not racism, but xenophobia - another bullshit phobia found in the minds of the petty and scared, whose ability to understand the world stopped developing shortly after they discovered the notions of "them" and "us", and all the luxurious lazy thinking that comes with it. Aaaah lazy hatred.
It is a very real issue, but as long as it happens rather rarely when compared to female sexual assault, spending the same resources on it is clearly not a very wise distribution of resources.
That the thinking of one person can't in any way logically define how everyone should think about every other person and institution said person is involved in or with?
They'd have to stop all alcohol sales, and have enough medical equipment & staff on board to patch up those who have been stabbed in the throat. Not to mention the problems of landing a plane containing hundreds of knives in a country which might not appreciate it... Your idea sounds plausible if not considered long enough.

It's disabled by default, and requires explicit user agreement for it to be used. It can also be turned off at any time. This is not something to get upset about.
You are complaining that you have to turn something off which is disabled by default. You just told everyone you prefer being upset to being well-informed, and that is not very becoming.
You didn't even bother reading the summary before guessing what's happening and getting outraged at your own construction. If that's how you learn, it's no wonder your world view on other topics is so skewed.
Hint: different parts of the English-speaking world have different ways of referring to things. This side of the pond they are frequently called "safety deposit boxes":)
You can encrypt your data on your hard disk and then send the disk to Amazon, and they will copy the contents to your storage space for you. That takes care of the speed and privacy issues. Getting it back can be achieved the same way, should you wish.
I think the main points people are disliking about your posts are: Confusing the notions of "ruir" and "everyone else", mistaking your opinion for fact, and offering your handful of anecdotes as being representative of the experiences of everyone else.

You can leave the left/right thing at the door, and instead pin the lion's share on the Greek national sport of tax dodging.

You seem to be confusing your experiences of the world with everyone else, which is clearly not a very logical position to take.
I'd down-mod them simply for being factually incorrect. Heck, the article's very existence and this discussion demonstrate that perfectly.
Unless those are stored long enough, they might as well not exist. Remember, those scans are supposed to be used instantly.

Throw your computer out the window NOW, as in a "few versions" of any software they might decide to do something you don't like. Great logic, sparky!

You do realise you're just telling everyone you are massively insecure with your sexuality, right?

The guy's got a few GB to deal with. The cloud is the perfect solution - encrypt before you send, and you're sorted.
