Increasingly, Google and its properties — the vastly popular video site YouTube and equally popular Blogger — are tools for shutting down opposition to the government. On the weekend, Google removed an Alex Jones video critical of Obama’s policies. Google classified the video as “hate speech” because the corporation allegedly received complaints the content of the video was racist. In the video, Alex appears as “Obama the Joker,” as depicted in a now infamous street art poster.

Google also shut down the blog of Sibel Edmonds last week. Edmonds is a former FBI translator and founder of the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition. Edmonds is fighting efforts by the FBI and the Department of Justice to prevent her from testifying in a case of alleged election fraud. Edmonds is scheduled to testify before the Ohio Elections Commission and both the Department of Justice and the FBI are attempting to halt her from testifying.

On July 31, Edmonds told the Mike Malloy Show the U.S. government had “intimate relations” with Osama bin Laden right up to the day of the attacks in New York on September 11, 2001. “These ‘intimate relations’ included using Bin Laden for ‘operations’ in Central Asia, including Xinjiang, China

its THE SHEEPLES FAULT for being dependent on them

nobody is stopping competitors from making clones of twitter, myspace, facebook, youtube (short of any copyright issues)

we're not helping either by embedding youtube videos and using google as our primary se, using gmail as our e-mail, using blogspot instead of wordpress or livejournal....

NOBODY IS FORCING YOU TO DEPEND ON GOOGLE, YOU USE THEM, YOU DON'T GET TO COMPLAIN.

you're only against monopoly because you can't benefit from it

you don't like competition, only as a means to an end, if I gave you everything you wanted as a result from competition (low price, high quality) you'd not ask for it.

ever heard of anybody looking for competitors for water or air or planets? NO, because it's neither necessary nor plausible.

I am against monopoly.

When it can hurt someone, even if it benefits me. I am against misuse of power and position.

What if it doesn't hurt anyone and is simply a result of a better product?

That would be an ideal monopoly, something that hardly existed ever.

or, people THOUGHT it was a better product, do people have any right to know everything?

in your ideal world, that'd be inevitable and the only acceptable form of "monopoly"

does anybody have a right or entitlement to see different options? Or only for things that they can afford to choose?

I don't hear people complaining that oxygen has a monopoly on our breathing fuels.

Where is my ideal world? How did you assessed how it would look like? Did I mention it to you?

Please don't dilute the thread with offtopic posts, unless of course that's what you are trying to do.

ok, so I'm not going to put words in your mouth.

You oppose monopoly if it does harm not if it doesnt?

What's your ideal world? Do you have one?

The funny thing is ever since I moved out near Silicon Valley I've met more Ron Paul supporters than anywhere I lived before. RP is popular among the Google/Facebook/Youtube crowd - at least among the rank and file employees.

Yeah, the connection between technology and libertarianism is interesting. Just look at how popular the video game threads are here.

And in my meetup, I can't remember anybody that doesn't play often.

I think most google employees would disagree that this is what they are doing.
