I would never judge a company based on their words. Most corporations spend immense amounts of money on public relations firms, and these firms are pretty decent at their job. And words can be faked - lies, deception. If you want to see what a company truly is judge them by their actions, particularly ones that are not obvious PR efforts. Google in recent times: - looking to move into China and create a censored search engine blocking offensive search terms like "human rights" [1] - the above search engine would also tie users' searches to their phone numbers for ease of tracking - tracking users' location on phones when tracking was set to disabled (we're back to everywhere - not just China on this one) - looking to implement change that would disable most ad-blockers - lobbying the government restrict employees' rights to organize against it And this is just a list of things from the past several months. It is seriously not comprehensive. No, I think Google has quite a clear agenda, a great PR department, and a whole bunch of people in cognitive dissonance who want to believe the PR rather than acknowledge what they're taking part in. --- edit : Added a source for first point. It's borderline unbelievable, but it was not rhetorical. Human rights (in Mandarin of course) was literally on Google's black list of terms.
