We create a lot of money for Google by serving them text advertisements on a network of hidden websites. We buy Google via their own advertisement. Google eats itself, but in the end, "we own it!"
The Google database has tonnes of incredible information that assists us in anything we do. It is constituted by the most visited pages of the net.We have this thought in our mind that accessing Google is Free and Easy so LET'S DO IT! Why not? It's free and who does not like free stuff?!
The question is...what is the price we have to pay? Unfortunately, there is a price that we are paying. Instead of taking pocket change from us, they are using us as a human resource which provides them with information, clicks, personal data, etc. Forget the concept of FREE. FREE just ends up being another concept of control and we want to find the controllers of this system. We can not find them easily because we do not have access to them and without access it is pretty much invisible.
Google tends to steal information very easily. One easy way of stealing information is the street view on Google Maps. All you do is type in the address and click street view to see the house. I have ironically seen one of my friends on street view and it really scares me as to if I am really on this so called "street view." I searched up my house once and I saw all the cows on my farm, my dogs and my dad's new car at the time. It is scary to think that the world can see where I live and what my house even looks like. Even though this is just one example as to how we are losing our privacy online, this just enforces that point 100x more.
