Google reveals its true colors (green and greener) when it disses the U.S. military in its request for help with artificial intelligence while at the same time aiding and abetting the Chinese government’s draconian internet policies, providing a search engine labeled Dragonfly.
Google’s predominantly globalist workforce lobbied its predominantly globalist leadership with over 800 signatures claiming to have an issue with supporting the U.S. military. You know, the band of patriots that have sworn to defend our nation, including Mountain View, California. Meanwhile, the same naïve bunch blindly piled on the idea of supporting an oppressive Chinese regime, not because it’s the morally right thing to do, but because they can make big money doing it.
The duplicity resident in Google’s ethos is staggering but not necessarily a surprise. Take, for instance, Scott Cleland’s prescient 2011 book titled, “Search and Destroy: Why You Can’t Trust Google.” Cleland’s main argument is that Google wants everyone else’s information – something he calls “publicy” – while they fiercely protect their own algorithms and patents from the public eye. It is this same selfish culture that has Google supporting China, but not the U.S.
In other words, the core of Google’s business model is that we plebeians should be as exposed as possible to Google so that they can make more money through marketing and targeting us more acutely. Conversely, we have no business understanding what’s inside their black box. Google’s culture is allegedly “Do No Evil,” yet they spurn the U.S. military and help China, a named peer competitor in our National Security Strategy.
It should come as no surprise that a company that pretends to care about social justice, yet dispatches that lofty goal in pursuit of the bottom line, is rudderless at its core with no ethos other than the value it can bring to investors and its employees.
