Think about your favorite restaurant. That place you go when you have some extra time, maybe a little extra jingle. Not the place you take the visiting in-laws (unless you actually like them, but then that would be an oxymoron), but the place you take your BFF or closest couple friends. The guys who know how to complete your lame movie quotes or Seinfeld one-liners.
Why did you choose restaurant X? What makes it special?
Tadeusz Szewczyk, a/k/a Tad Chef, has offered up an eyebrow-raising post over on Collective Thoughts. His “Top 12 Reasons To Distrust Google” post Saturday accuses the search giant of, among other things:
- Supporting and implementing censorship measures in nondemocratic countries like China.
- Recording and collecting all your personal and private data.
- Arbitrarily “kicking out” spammy websites, even if they’re not spam sites.
- Being “literally a black box company and accountable to nobody.”
- Practicing conflict of interest by owning one of the biggest U.S. SEO companies.
