'''Google''' is a multinational 
CIA front
 public 
adware trojan
 corporation based in Mountain View, [[California]]. They are primarily known for their search engine, which is actually a massive data mining project that [[J. Edgar Hoover]] would've admired. They purchased [[YouTube]] even though they knew beforehand that YouTube was based on rampant [[piracy]].<ref>[http://www.mercurynews.com/2010/03/18/google-executives-called-youtube-a-pirate-site-2/ Google executives called YouTube a ‘pirate’ site] by Mike Swift (March 18, 2010 at 6:17 am) ''The Mercury News''. "Is changing a policy to increase traffic knowing beforehand that we’ll profit from illegal downloads how we want to conduct our business? Is this Googley?" — Sergey Brin</ref> Their cartographic project, Google Maps, has helped [[conspiracy theorists]] find yet ''more'' weird things that prove the [[Illuminati]] really rule [[Earth]].

Google likes to play "goody two-shoes" and adopted the motto, "{{wpl|Don't_be_evil|Don't be evil".}} However, as scandals mounted, it became evident that Google really wasn't morally neutral, and the motto was dropped.<ref name="businessinsider">http://www.businessinsider.com/if-google-crossed-the-creepy-line-how-should-it-repair-the-damage-to-its-image-2013-8?op=1</ref>

==Google is your best, creepiest friend 😀==
[[File:Google-privacy.jpg|thumb|150px||left|In capitalism, Google watches you.]]
Google is widely known to track user behavior online, mostly for [[money|targeted advertising purposes]]. Google scans their users' emails, search history, browser history and other online sources to form an impression of each user's preferences, basic demographic interests, and interests to make targeted [[advertisement]]s. Though this may sound a little creepy, it's hardly the worst that can be said about Google's privacy. Despite information of Google being a fucking creep publicly available, people are simply ignorant of just how creepy Google can be, and ''still'' use its services.

*In one notable situation, an ex-Google employee allegedly spied on minors' mail, chats, voice calls, etc.<ref name="wired">https://www.wired.com/2010/09/google-spy/</ref> — presumably with one hand — twice!<ref name="techcrunch">https://techcrunch.com/2010/09/14/google-engineer-spying-fired/</ref><ref group=note>According to the suit, Google regularly opens up, reads, and mines the content in emails to serve up ads it considers relevant to the parties involved. If this is done anonymously, perhaps one could argue "no harm, no foul." What is "creepy," however, is that Google employees could access this private information. If they do, it is impossible to know what they might do with it.</ref><ref name="businessinsider"/><ref group=note>Although in this previous case, no minors were involved.</ref> Google denies that spying occurred yet fires the employees for breaking internal privacy policies<ref group=note>Because even Google has standards apparently</ref> — it makes as much sense as it sounds.
*Remember how we said Google collects your data? Well Google owns Google the search engine, YouTube, and 
Google+
 and created Android phones, Google Glass, and Chromebooks giving it multiple platforms to spy on users and use that data 
to get money
 for personal advertisements.<ref>{{wpa|Don't be evil}}</ref>
*Google admitted that their street-view cars collected Wi-Fi network data for three years. It was dismissed as a bug because [[bullshit|who knew that a bug could result in an entire new feature being implemented]].<ref name="wired"/> Lawyers didn't buy that and filed lawsuits; however, Google claimed that they did nothing wrong because it's "lawful to use packet-sniffing tools readily available on the internet".<ref name="sniff">https://www.wired.com/2010/08/google-spy-lawsuits/</ref> Was it a bug or did you download packet-sniffing tools? We're trying to follow you here, Google!
*Google can recognize if there's a face in your contact photo and will ask you to have your face in it if it's not present.{{fact}}
*Google has the feature to track your every location and stores all of your searches, and contact information — and of course, Google has all these enabled by default ''juuuuust'' for you.<ref>http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2015/07/26/google-incs-tracking-is-getting-creepy.aspx</ref>
*In 2013, Margaret Hodge MP accused Google of aggressive [[tax]] avoidance.<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/may/16/google-told-by-mp-you-do-do-evil</ref><ref>{{wpa|Tax avoidance by Google#Aggressive tax avoidance|Aggressive tax avoidance}}</ref>

===Google is hardly the only one===
The unfortunate thing is that Google is not alone in this regard. Companies that provide free services necessarily monetize on users' data in some regard, if only to justify to their investors why the company is engaging in this 
rampant communism
 philanthropic service. Google is just one of the many companies — like [[Facebook]], [[Yahoo]], and especially Bing ([[Microsoft]]) — that does this.

==Project MSSNG and eugenics==
Google is teaming with the hate group [[Autism Speaks]] in their pursuit to analyze the genomes of [[autism|autistic]] people.<ref>https://www.businessinsider.in/Google-Teams-Up-With-A-Controversial-Research-Group-To-Figure-Out-Autism/articleshow/45443259.cms</ref>

==Hypocrisy==
Google has been [[hypocrisy|duplicitous]] with regard to [[climate change]]:… "Google employees and the company's [[political action committee]] give $699,195 since 2008 to members of the 'climate denier caucus'", while at the same time publicly opposing [[climate change denial]]<ref>[http://www.sfchronicle.com/business/article/Despite-recent-split-from-conservative-group-5781594.php Despite recent split from conservative group, Google’s connections to climate change denial runs deep] by Joe Garofoli & David R. Baker (September 25, 2014; Updated: September 27, 2014 9:12pm) ''San Francisco Chronicle''.</ref> — expect to see [[Doublethink|contradictions]] like this a lot.

==Enabling fake news==
In 2017, Google tacitly acknowledged that they had been responsible for propagating [[fake news]] in their Google News platform. They did this by creating a permanent "Fact Check" section, as well as incrementally getting better at weeding out fake news. As of 2017, the main sources for fact checking were: [[BBC]], [[FactCheck.org]], [[Gossip Cop]], [[PolitiFact]], [[Snopes]], and [[The Washington Post]].

Google, along with Facebook and [[Twitter]], was responsible for propagating [[Russian]] disinformation, and consequently Russian influence on the [[2016 U.S. presidential election]].<ref>[http://time.com/4783932/inside-russia-social-media-war-america/ Inside Russia's Social Media War on America] by Massimo Calabresi (Updated: May 18, 2017 3:48 PM ET) ''Time''.</ref><ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/senate-intelligence-committee-leaders-russia-did-interfere-in-2016-elections/2017/10/04/1459291c-a91f-11e7-850e-2bdd1236be5d_story.html Senate Intelligence Committee leaders: Russia did interfere in 2016 elections] by Karoun Demirjian (October 4, 2017 at 1:38 PM) ''The Washington Post''.

Google now filters so many words from its autocomplete that it fills a dictionary, needless to say anything even vaguely offensive or divisive is more likely to be filtered.

;English blacklist

As of 2012, these words were filtered out<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.2600.com/googleblacklist/ |title=Google Blacklist – Words That Google Instant Doesn't Like |publisher=2600.com |date= |accessdate=August 4, 2012}}</ref> (the capital letter indicates where the blacklist kicks in)":

==Google Maps==
Google Maps and another product, Google Earth, offer incredibly detailed aerial, satellite, and ground-based photographic imagery of almost the entire planet (as well as Mars and elsewhere). Many people have spent a lot of time studying these images looking for strange and unusual things, or more sinisterly for evidence supporting [[conspiracy theory|conspiracy theories]]. People claim to have found a wide range of things, including [[UFO]]s, alien artifacts, secret holes leading to the [[hollow earth]], and much more.<ref>[http://home.bt.com/tech-gadgets/internet/google-maps-alien-ufo-sightings-11364098331430 Is it a UFO? 10 bizarre Google Maps findings which could be the work of aliens], BT.com</ref>

In most cases, the explanation is simple. Some are caused by image processing artifacts, due to stitching together images taken from slightly different viewpoints at slightly different times. Others have innocent explanations, such as shadows or clouds. Some are images of cool or interesting buildings and structures, but none of these have yet been proven to be of alien origin. One apparent sighting of a flying saucer turned out to be a watermark on an image.<ref>[https://www.iflscience.com/technology/conspiracy-theorists-think-theyve-found-a-ufo-on-google-maps-but-the-actual-explanation-is-hilarious/ Conspiracy Theorists Think They've Found A UFO On Google Maps, But The Actual Explanation Is Hilarious], IFL Science</ref> Images of underwater streets claimed to be the ruins of [[Atlantis]] turned out to be digital artifacts from image processing.<ref>[http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1881770_1881787_1881774,00.html UFO Landing Pads, Maybe?], Dan Fletcher, Time, image 2</ref> There was apparently another debate over whether mysterious marks on airbases in the UK were landing pads for UFOs, or markings for learner motorcyclists to practice manoeuvring around.<ref>[http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1881770_1881787_1881777,00.html UFO Landing Pads, Maybe?], Dan Fletcher, Time, image 3</ref>

It's also great for spotting [[FEMA_concentration_camps#Google_Earth|FEMA concentration camps]]. It also nearly caused a border war between Nicaragua and Costa Rica by showing their border a few miles south of where it should be.<ref>https://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/02/28/the-first-google-maps-war/</ref>

==Monopoly==
In 2023, Google was sued for alleged anti-trust ([[monopoly]]) violations.<ref>[https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-sues-google-monopolizing-digital-advertising-technologies Justice Department Sues Google for Monopolizing Digital Advertising Technologies]  (January 24, 2023) ''Office of Public Affairs, U. S. Department of Justice''.</ref> During the 2024 trial, the judge in the case found that Google had destroyed evidence; evidence was also presented that several Google employees on different occasions intentionally turned off chat history during what were relevant discussions with legal implications.<ref>[https://www.404media.co/heres-22-examples-of-google-employees-trying-to-avoid-creating-evidence-in-antitrust-case/ Here’s 22 Examples of Google Employees Trying to Avoid Creating Evidence in Antitrust Case] by Jason Koebler (Aug 31, 2024 at 10:59 AM) ''404 Media''.</ref> Both of these types of actions would seem to be [[consciousness of guilt]].
