CRITICISM OF GOOGLE

WHAT IS GOOGLE?

GOOGLE is a company specializing in Web search and online advertising.
Google's mission, is to organize the world's information and make
 it universally accessible and useful.
It was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin when they were students
 at Stanfor  University on 27 September 1998.
The company experienced explosive growth since its inception
 and began buying companies such as Writely, JotSpot and YouTube,
 among others.
It also began expanding its services outstripping even much larger
 companies that had led cómodomante years.
The name "Google" originated from "googol", a unit 
that represents a 1 followed by a thousand zeros.
He is currently the most used navigator in the world
 for its speed, simplicity and effectiveness in searches.

 BUT THIS COMPANY HAS BEEN CRITIZED:

The policies and practices for which Google has been criticized
 include its use of others' intellectual property, concerns that its 
compilation of data may violate people's privacy, censorship of 
search results, and the energy consumption of its servers.
 Much of the criticism of Google pertains to issues that haven't
 yet been addressed by cyber law.

WIKILEAKS

Julian Assange was born in Townsville, Queensland in 1971 is a journalist, programmer and Internet activist Australia, known for his role in the Wikileaks site (site reports). He studied physics and mathematics, was hacker and programmer before assuming his current position as director, adviser and editor in chief of WikiLeaks.
WIKILEAKS is an international organization which publishes submissions of otherwise unavailable documents from anynomus sources and leaks.Its website, launched in 2006, is run by The Sunshine Press.
I think this page is very useful, because it shows us the aberrations that people make. I also think that it is very reliable, because the information that people send to WikiLeaks, is proved by people if they are true or not.
I think this page can make a difference in our world, because if people see the videos of  the aberrations in the Iraq War, they can be against this, and war could end.WikiLeaks can be good, it can stop the war and it can be bad also, because  it shows the American's strategy, and "rebels" will have enough excuses to attack them.
