Google is called a monopolist, accused of corruption, fraudulent search results. When a Google manager recently published his post about women in the IT field, the company was accused of sexism. When Google fired this employee, the company was accused of fighting dissent. Now it's gotten to the point where journalists think that Google can become a threat to national security. Although, it seems, the real reason lies in another - this company has too much power.
Financial resources of Google are almost unmatched. He controls most of what users see and hear on the Internet. In the past, the company was considered a potential "figure of kings", and suspected of financing organizations that otherwise could oppose it, according to TechNewsWorld..
Among other abuses, Google is accused of juggling search results. So, during the election campaign, the search engine tried to show Trump from a bad side and clearly sympathized with Clinton. If you enter, for example, the query "Trump" and "scandal" in two search engines - Google and Bing - then Bing will show among other things the results of sites that sympathize with Trump, and Google on the first page will have only negative information.
In addition, Google is accused of financing the Open Markets company to pressure the monopolists Amazon and Microsoft, who are its competitors.
When they learned about this in the EU, Google paid a fine and quickly covered the Open Markets, firing all employees.
However, it seems that the world is not so much frightened by violations on the part of Google, as the power that it can potentially use. "When a company like Google gets power like Google, it usually behaves badly. There is an impressive list of such firms, "writes journalist Rob Enderle in his analytical article and adds:" We live in dangerous times. Google may or may already be a threat to national security.
