I had written this regarding the rebranding of Facebook to Meta and the genius of the Google (Alphabet) co-founders extricating themselves from being the evil personas: “La plus belle des ruses du diable est de vous persuader qu'il n'existe pas." ("The devil's finest trick is to persuade you that he does not exist.")” ― Charles Baudelaire The smartest thing that the Google co-founders did is to step out of the "picture" and have a "nerdish" dignitary Sundar Pichai be the face of the company. The type of headlines we won't see anymore since they have "stepped down". Email exchanges between National Security Agency Director Gen. Keith Alexander and Google executives Sergey Brin and Eric Schmidt suggest a far cozier working relationship between some tech firms and the U.S. government than was implied by Silicon Valley brass after last year’s revelations about NSA spying. http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/2014/5/6/nsa-chief-google.html http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/2014/5/6/nsa-chief-goo... https://pando.com/2014/05/13/emails-showing-googles-closeness-with-the-nsa-director-really-arent-that-surprising/ https://pando.com/2014/05/13/emails-showing-googles-closenes...
