Eric Schmidt is the CEO of Google. Google is evil.
Exhibit A:
If you have something that you don’t want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place.
– Eric Schmidt, in answer to the following question asked of him on CNBC: “People are treating Google like their most trusted friend. Should they?”
This sort of argument is the lamest that could be imagined to justify spying and invasion of personal privacy. This position would justify installing surveillance cameras in everyone’s home. This kind of arguement is made by totalitarian regimes every day.
Oh, and if you want to learn a little about the personal life of said Eric Schmidt, feel free to look here and see how he reacted back in 2005 when his private information was widely disseminated. At that link, you can also watch this d-bag make the case that can make him rich: trust Google and quit your nasty behaviors.
This kind of argument is bullshit.
And don’t get me started on Yahoo and their simple instructions to the government regarding how to ask for and get user information from Yahoo. For a fee.
