Remember when Google CEO Eric Schmidt laughed at you for questioning Google’s commitment to your privacy? Remember when he asked you if you’d rather the government do what he does, as though there were an imperative that somebody gather and cross-reference everything they can about you?
It turns out that line between Google and government is pretty sketchy. Very sketchy, in fact.
Big Government amusingly enough used a privacy hole Google itself created to expose how integrated Google is with the Obama White House. At least 28 different Google lobbyists, lawyers, and other big wigs have the ear of Andrew McLaughlin, White House Deputy CTO. These men and women don’t just create products for Google either. No, Google has whole staff wings dedicated to promoting specific public policy in the US and other countries, and they have excited ears deep in the White House.
Oh yes, and the Youtube Political Director’s been chatting with the White House, too. No bias or anything, though, honest.

Great job Neil

I’ll bet those guys are talking about nothing but improvements….and on an equal fair basis. Last I heard they want to give free C-3 bandwidth to MSNBC, NPR, DAily KoS, Media Matters, and Move-On.
But they will be just as fair to the rest. The rest will get a new special advanced system called “dial-up” and it will only be filtered through ten screening agencies under the benevolent helpful FCC, starting with Van Jones/John Podesta/Saul Alinsky Technology associates of Hoboken.
Corporatism is Fascism
vadum Wednesday, March 31st at 4:08PM EST (link)Corporatism is the economic component of Fascism.
Let’s call it by its proper name.
Fascism is sweeping America, thanks to Obama & Co. (and George W. Bush too).
Sad but true. It can be stopped but it won’t be easy.
Oh I know

Reminds me of the old joke
reverelth (Diary) Wednesday, March 31st at 4:43PM EST (link)where you add “in bed” to whatever the fortune in your fortune cookie says to make it really funny?
So when the hand wringers bemoan the inevitability of corporate corruption, just add “with government.”
