Google: The Perfect Compliment to Big BrotherSusanne Posel, Contributor I believe that these fast-moving markets would particularly benefit from a quick resolution of the competition issues identified, said Joaqun Almunia, the head of competition policy for the European Commission. Restoring competition swiftly to the benefit of users at an early stage is always preferable to lengthy proceedings, although these sometimes become indispensable to competition enforcement. Almunia said that Google is becoming a dominant abuser with regard to its business practices. In its general search results, Google displays links to its own vertical search services differently than it does for links to competitors, Almunia said. We are concerned that this may result in preferential treatment compared to those of competing services, which may be hurt as a consequence. The truth about Googles rise as an abusive dominating force does not only come from this petty argument over search terms, but how the Internet giant is working with governmental agencies to mine for data on unsuspecting citizens. Recently, a US Court of Appeals in the District of Columbia, ruled that the NSA does not need to confirm nor deny(known as a Glomar response) its collaborations with Google; how the two work together to spy on American citizens in the name of protecting the public from false flag cyber-attacks. The existence of a relationship or communications between the NSA and any private company certainly constitutes an activity of the agency subject to protection from public disclosure, said Judge Janice Rogers Brown. Moreover, if private entities knew that any of their attempts to reach out to NSA could be made public through a FOIA request, they might hesitate or decline to contact the agency, thereby hindering its Information Assurance mission. In reviewing an agencys Glomar response, this court exercises caution when the information requested implicates national security, a uniquely executive purview. NSA need not make a specific showing of potential harm to national security in order to justify withholding information. During the investigation in the violation, Google obstructed information from reaching investigators, says the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC). EPICs director, Marc Rotenberg stated: Much of the information uncovered by the FCCs investigation was redacted, and Googles obstruction prevented the agency from determining the merits of the underlying substantive issues: whether Googles interception of Wi-Fi communications violated the Wiretap Act, Rotenberg argued. Finally, the FCC ignored legal precedent holding that the contents of unencrypted Wi-Fi networks were protected by the Wiretap Act. Googles Android has the ability to use ambient background noise of an individuals environment to spy on them. Their activities will be targeted to more efficiently advertise to them through their technological devices. Google will use your private conversations, music preferences, favorite shows and radio stations anything in your immediate environment to build a profile on you. Thanks to Googles Android and similar smartphones the patent for this surveillance technology will allow our phones to become spies. Google has morphed into a monster. They spy on citizens, collect private data, and assist the US government in creating profiles on each and every citizen in America. That is the evidence of a domineering abuser.
