Google and the transformation of our People Operating System transformation.
Google is just one new country in a planet of Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft and so on.
Everything looks the same, my passport stull has the American cover. There is an appearance of continuity.
- What is a country?
- What is a flag? What is a logo?
- What is a citizen? What is a consumer?
- What is the Constitution? What is an End User License Agreement
- Which do you prefer, Free Speech which can be outrageous and/or offensive or the guidelines of Facebook and Twitter
- Which do you trust more, Google or the US Government? Which has better governance, more transparency, accountability and legal protections?
- What uses capital more efficiently, Google or the US Government?
- Who will keep you safer, Microsoft or The US government?
- Google algorithms are coerced to suppress some results and overweight others. Would you like stats to support that assertion?
I don’t want Google ‘politics‘, that’s not an app or chrome extension that I installed. Google is a porcupine needle that burrows deeper and deeper.
They are increasingly controlling the information I receive and, through that, control too much of what I buy, think, read or hear about, and, who I hear it from. Or don’t. They decide what emails they want me to see and which go straight to spam folder jail.
You can click to delete your Google account or you can export its contents but there is no ‘other’ place to import to. At best you are hopping from one monopolist to the other.
The end?
