Tien tot de macht honderd

The Observer over de dominantie van Google: “If people cannot find your site, then effectively you don’t exist. So if (because of commercial, political or ideological pressure) Google filtered out your site, then you would be airbrushed out of existence. The company has already bent under pressure from Scientologists and the government of China, and can expect more of the same. What began as pure technology is now acquiring a political dimension. People are beginning to talk about ‘the politics of placement’. The question in the end will not be whether Google is wonderful, but whether it will be corrupted by its power.”
