My name is Google and I can do whatever I want.

Google, who does not know Google ? Google, maybe one of the most popular websites in the world. To sum it up : Google is da place to be. Trendy, agreable, convenient... But why Google is blamed ?

I think that Google is blamed for its licentiousness, its trade-off with the Chinese Government, and for its trespassing into people's lives. On the one hand, the other media blame Google for unfairly thriving them at their expense. On the other hand, it has nettled the whole political spectrum by taking various controversial liberties on several tricky issues. Then, Google has undoubtedly triggered a debate over its trustwhortiness.

Google can be compared to a sort of financial institution thriving on the customers funds. It is entrusted with and thus made morally accountable for them. Both alternatives Google is confronted with are bound to have a negative impact either on users' privacy or on its own profit and efficiency. It is therefore faced with a dilemma concerning the forthecoming management of private data.


I think that Google should openly face the face that it is an efficient profit-making company instead of stubbornly sticking to its politically correct stance. It will not be able to sustain and that is therefore bound to be difficult. Most companies  keep consumer information for themselves to adapt or boost their marketing strategy. So, why not accepting this undeniable fact ?
