I really like this point. I think Google is one piece in an entire system that is an invasion of privacy. I don't see Google as being a conspiracy itself. It doesn't have plans for world domination, but it its aspiring to keep itself at the top. The whole problem is the internet itself is an invasion of privacy. You can look anything up on someone.

I have to sign forms to permit a company to do background checks on me when I apply for a job, yet I can just go to the internet itself to see someone's background? Look it up, you'll see many sites that offer that service. Some are pay.

I'm more afraid of that one creep that gets smart and tracks down an innocent girl or family using the internet then Google's conspiracy. But unfortunately Google may be the software segway in all that.
Yea. The Individual is more scary than google.

Google doesn't seem to individualize very well, and for all it's efforts at narrowing things down i can still type in things in it and get stuff that has absolutely nothing to do with what i was trying to find out.

Even if google was going for world domination, it's target is everybody, and that's a pretty big target. Easy to hit, hard to damage. Smaller targets are harder to hit, but when you hit them you can destroy them completely.

And considering there are still parts of the world that don't even have enough technology like google or even computers (and i'm pretty sure there are others that have google censored so you can only look up certain things) google is going to have to wait until we actually provide everyone with internet access to have world domination.

Or else they're going to have to recruit people to go out and force the information out of people who don't have internet access, but if it comes to that then it would be pretty obvious that google is a force to be stopped and we could take action.
