Google’s lack of moral compass has crossed the line into endangering the very nation that hosts it

"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 lack of moral compass has crossed the line into endangering the very nation that hosts it and provides the fundamentals for its success. The company has a duty to the United States and should assist the U.S. military at least as much as it will be helping the Chinese government."

"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."

Google is a corporation 

it has no morals

it has no duty 

it doesn’t owe anybody

business practices are just that

Completely disagree.

How can you say that morals and ethics have no place in business?

One of the biggest issues facing America is the depravity of the corporate culture that is becoming so prevalent.

Google is a prime example of this.

The customer is perfectly capable of doing business or not with the company.

if the have a good policy and public relations then they will do well, not because they have some obligation or duty but by having a loyal customer base. A company has no political, moral, or ethical requirement to stay in business based on the patriotism of the customer. A patriotic company that sucks goes out of business, an immoral company that provides a worthy service stays in business and grows. 

Market capitalism

especially an international corporation.

“Google” isn’t registered to vote

politicians will demand compliance (and lobbyist money) not patriotism. They can clothe it as they wish, but it’s “comply or suffer”

thats not moral or ethical or patriotic but the cost of doing business in America.

Their allegnce is to the stockholders.

people try to project morals and loyalty to a corporation. They should be no more patriotic or political than a rock.

And that's the issue, they are not apolitical, and now they are using their semi-monopoly position to further their left wing agenda. Best example is their ABC Holding that also owns YouTube, which castrates right leaning as well as pro 2nd content and creators. Google's own search algorithm is also politically biased, damaging other businesses out of political motivation.

What we need is a separation between corporate America and our government. No more lobbying. And much stronger anti trust laws.

And **** China, they steal everything they can get a hold on. Man up and buy US made.

Everyone buying cheap **** from China is directly supporting our enemy instead of our middle class and our tax revenue.

Also, a good company doesn't forget where it came from, and should be a proud supporter to its countrymen. Google is a piece of **** company. Plain and simple.

By the way: guess what companies file for most work visas in order to hire foreigners over US citizens?

Amazon 2,515 +1,099 (up by +78%)
Google 1,213 +289 (up by +31%)
Facebook 720 +248 (up by +53%)

They are globalist / socialist piece of **** corporations that don't give a **** about America. These days you have to be a total moron (or a left winger) if you still support them.

So, because Henry Ford was an avowed racist and supporter of Hitler, we shouldn't buy Ford automobiles?

Then, or now?

I suggest that folk assign far to much weight to the effect of evil monopolies and corporate satraps serving kings we don't agree with.

Time has a way of evening out the worst of human foibles.

I fear the machinations of dullards masquerading as defenders of the people simply because they win a popularity contest than planning in corporate board rooms.

When was the last time that General Motors of Amazon started a war?

Starved thousands to death?

Hunted millions down and eliminated them because of their religion or political philosophies?

Governments threaten humanity, not eBay.

I did get it, amigo.

Keep in mind that corporations like Farber and Krupp, though they may have been politically and philosophically aligned, did what their government wanted, the same way GM and General Electric and others did during the same period.

Just the tip of the iceberg

This is quite similar to the reason they dissolved AT&T.

You don’t have a right to the Internet. We lived just fine before it, billions of people have never heard of or had access to it.

who decides how much control of the internet is too much?

The internet is, is becoming, the communications backbone of the United States, much as the telephone system used to be.  They are more alike than they are different from each other.  The problems are more severe with the internet because significantly more information is passed on it.   Therefore, information on the internet is being controlled, whereas, Ma Bell controlled the hardware.

"The control of information is something the elite always does, particularly in a despotic form of government. Information, knowledge, is power. If you can control information, you can control people." Tom Clancy


" There are massive efforts on the part of the internet's corporate owners to try to direct it to become a technique of marginalization and control." Noam Chomsky


 "You have to be down here in the States to realize just how tightly controlled the corporate media is and how much they practice Soviet-style censorship through creative omission." Jello Biafra

The government, ma bell had to much control of the phone system and we know what happened.  Actually the internet travels over the same system as voice communications for the most part, so I would guess the FCC has something to say about control.  Voice communications are converted to digital signals and travel intermixed with data (the internet) over the same systems.

I have the same right to the internet as I do phone service as long as I pay my bill.

Noam Chomsky is a known holocaust denier.  I don't know why anyone listens to him.

Read the book Denying the Holocaust by Deborah E Lipstadt.

It wasn't that long ago that cooperation’s did have a compass that pointed to America's values.

Just a few that come to mine are Ford and the Minnesota Moline Corporation.  Ford build nothing by military vehicles for the duration of WWII and Minnesota Moline stopped making some of the most splendid and beautiful tractors that ever graced America and turned to building large caliber artillery rounds and tracked vehicles.

I am sitting next to the portion of one of their 8 inch shells.

In regards to the building of the atomic bomb:  We needed a special explosive to help with the compressed explosive charge and went to the DuPont Corporation.  Their board voted to do everything they could for this bomb project.  Even though the US government wouldn't tell them what they were doing.  They took a tremendous finical risk.  But without it the first bomb would never have been built.

You can read about it in the book Now it Can be Told by General Leslie Groves.

He will tell you about dozens of other companies who bet everything they had…on US….The United States.

IBM retooled and applied itself to building a new carbine, among many other innovations of the time, Singer Sewing Machine made 500 awesome 1911s.  They were planning to turn everything over to building arms rather than those pretty little sewing machines that we hold dearly in our memories.

Dozens of fine artists put their brushes to work painting posters like the one that hangs on my wall…posters that inspired young men and women to do their part.

And Americans bought War Bonds by the millions. They gave their government a loan to pay for their fair share of the fighting.  Not to mention the rationed coffee, sugar, rubber and gasoline.

This…was America in the 1940s. 

Google…is a soulless machine.  You are the product.  They allow their ideology to dictate what they think America should be.  They don’t like you to think. They just want you to install their automated products in their home analyze and deliver what they think you want. 

The mission is clear. If you disagree with us you are evil.

But if you don’t like it

you are not required to have it.

you are free to take your money and walk
