Google earned a distinction which would be fine if they want to win the Orwell Prize for Big Brothers Awards.That "distinction" punishes companies with a particular desire for control of individuals and intrusions into their privacy.
Google has won according to the jury for many things:
-- It does not have want to implement European law, preferring instead self-regulation, even if they refuse, for example, a person to have access to their own personal information and ask them to delete it.
-- Having agreed to put in place a screening so as not to displease the Chinese authorities. Google could also have censored its results in France and Germany since 2002.
-- They have also launched a campaign to collect DNA -- offering Internet users the opportunity to test their genome in order to uncover predisposition to certain diseases.
You will understand, these accusations are very tongue-in-cheek, but it is of great concern if Google persists in this direction. Does the Internet belong to us, or does it going to belong to Google?
