Assange: Google Is Not What It Seems

[Götterdämmerung]

And people still don't understand why China banned them. How I wish that we, too, have an equivalent company such as Baidu for the EU.

EU's population and technology can easily support an equivalent....But in that case, a "war" unveils.

It's very hard for Europe to has free choices. America provide them with security facing up to Russian, so EU has to make some compromises.

I know that. But can we expect a shift of balance?

Shortly after the Snowden revelation, there were calls to create an EU IT-infrastructure including our own search engine, etc. by many politicians.

Now, all is mute on that front. Wonder why …

No, most people are not aware of this. Most people that use Google's "free" services don't realize that they are paying for those services by giving away their personal data, which is essentially, the "commodity" that is being traded by that so called free service.

Is there any other alternative to G-mail or any of the Google services which isn't controlled/monitored by the USA!

I too am very particular about my privacy.. heck I even downloaded ghostery(an extension on google) to keep trackers of my back!!

Yes, there are alternatives, here are 5 safe search engines that will not track you, DuckDuckGo is the most popular: 5 Alternative Search Engines That Respect Your Privacy

Here is a list of safe email providers: Recommended eMail Provider (PRISM-safe)

It's a little off topic but I heard EU version of Windows does not even come with Internet Explorer, so how do you install Chrome or Firefox on your PC without I.E.???

Your point being?

Your point being?

Just a couple of interesting words.

When it comes to privacy and just being real @holes, no-one can be worse than Google.
They are the worst offenders out there.

If you were in a business that sustained itself on collecting human profiles of all sorts.....you'd be pretty happy as well. Digital age has changed everything. A mere search engine is the most powerful tool today......

Nothing sucks worse than realizing the extent google go to, to screw over users while simultaneously using slogans like "don't be evil."
