Inside the Google Trap?

Gerald Reischl

We all like the "search engine" Google, because it is a reliable, practical web service. But Google is not a search engine anymore, it is a global corporation that aspires to the control of the Internet and wants to be the largest dealer and archivist of information. Yesterday was the search, G-mail or the AdWords advertising program, today it is the Google browser "Chrome" and Android phones, tomorrow may already be its own operating system. Google's market dominance is dangerous for knowledge societies. Google is a monopolist "wolf in sheepskin", a most avid data collector with dozens of patents on methods as if straight out of the surveillance industry.
