There's no denying that Google of today is no longer the same as Google of the past, however the values their services provide to society are still enormous and far greater than most other corporations out there. We have learned that Facebook were indeed running various online campaigns to smear Google's reputation, just to take the public heat and focus off themselves. Many people fell for those traps during that time. I personally feel that those effects are still lasting, or at least still lingering around the community even until this day.
