Is Google Evil?

Its no mystery that google is incorporated into our lives daily.  Google has encompassed us through more than just a search engine; it has infiltrated our lives that without even realizing, the word “google” has been incorporated as part of our own English language.

The most common debates and conspiracies state Google is evil mainly because it does infiltrate our lives so widely, and of course with this comes privacy issues.

After watching and reading a multitude of videos and articles centred on google being “evil”, I have come to the conclusion that people assume that because it’s a multi billion dollar company, it is corrupt.  I don’t think google is necessarily evil, its just doing business. Really well at that.

True, they probably do have a database with everyone’s information in the ball of their hands, but government laws and regulations restrict them from doing much with that.

I believe that Google is a massive marketing, research and development corporation and gathering information about the human race helps invent things the global population wants or desires.  Google could be one of the most innovative companies in the world; they are now branching off in different areas of research.  They may be the founders of future technology, and who has ever disagreed with a creative and knowledge based economy if it leads us to economical benefits?

Good outweighs the bad; I’m happy for Google to have my information in return for the massive database of information, socialising networks and entertainment they provide through their services.
