Definately evil, because currently they play the good uncle, collecting your personal data.
But later, THEY WILL SELL THE DATA (HOW MANY VIAGRA YOU'RE USING) TO THE GOVERNMENT!!!!!
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevil...

also they abuse amazing mobile devices to collect even more personal data..

if that is not evil....

Google started good, but it's tentacles have grown long and greedy. Google, as most large companies, is a psychopath. It's required by law. I call it evil.

Nah, just reminding oneself the Stasi would have loved the data mining our governments currently exercise, and how situations arise where a dictator is democratically elected as was the case not too long ago in the 20th century.

Seriously, how do you know you're not a terrorist?

Plenty of people have been detained, arrested, charged and sometimes even convicted under anti-terrorism laws for things like writing poetry, going to a conference, walking down the road in a suspicious manner, etc.

It's not *your* definition of terrorist which matters...
