Firefox warns about Google
Tom Potter
"As Firefox pops the champagne on its fifth birthday,
one of its founding fathers has warned the world
against an interwebs ruled by
a certain money-minded tech giant.
That would be Google."
"I fear that we would end up in a worse case scenario where the users of the
web become consumers of content who sit in front of commercial <and
cultural> advertising all day long
and have no control over their experience"
"There are civic and cultural and educational aspects of the internet that
needs a defender and an advocate. They won't get that from traditional
commercial organizations who have a legal responsibility not to care about
this stuff."
As the old saying goes:
"Power corrupts,
and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
The most serious threat to free speech
and eventually to freedom,
is that Google is hijacking Usenet,
the last global, free speech, forum,
and they are already "cooking the books"
and brainwashing the people who use "Google Groups"
by massaging search results,
banning certain folks from using or posting to "Google Groups", and
they are smearing folks who express facts, ideas and opinions
that the Google Management does not want the public exposed to.
The definition of "bigot" is:
"A prejudiced person who is intolerant
of any opinions differing from his own."
It does not bode well for freedom, equity, justice, and equality,
when bigots have an effective monopoly on the
media and on search engines.

A bigot: someone who continually posts anti-semitic diatribes and has
been banned from Usenet. Someone who compares the whole of a world
religion to cancer.
That hypocritical liar Potter seems to fit his own description. Thanks
for that, Potter.
