Its a sum of
+
and
-
. Nobody sees all the
+
and
-
. Add to that,
'good'
and
'evil'
are moral values. Hence truth lies in the eye of the beholder.
In my opinion publicly owned corporations are evil in their roots because of the lack of personal responsibility of those who run it. But that opinion doesn't bring me anywhere.
Another question is,
if
Google is evil then what is the alternative for Google? Search related wise, Microsoft's Bing? No thanks, I've found Microsoft more immoral in recent years. I'd rather see Google as monopoly than Microsoft. OTOH, 20 years ago many would have preferred a Microsoft monopoly over an IBM monopoly.
My quibble with Google is that all personal data is stored in USA and the privacy laws there suck however again Microsoft Bing wouldn't solve that issue. Using Google, as least evil out of necessity/comfort, yet as less as possible, seems the only
practical
solution.
