Every time I criticize Google I get downmoded, but this has to be said: Google needs to be scrutinized and not any less than Microsoft was. This obviously applies to anti-trust, but also to user's privacy and publicity rights - something that was never a problem with Microsoft due to different nature of their business. For example, if you are being defamed on Youtube, what kind of recourse do you have? You could take the long route of finding the culprit and suing them, but if the video is still up there the damage would continue to happen every day. Unless pressure is applied to Google to handle such situation they won't do anything because there is absolutely no financial motive for them.
