Oh I absolutely agree wrt internet/telecom/utah datacenter panopticon/etc. For me the nuance is in the origins and ongoing leadership and effects on the consumer experience. The "Killed by google" phenomenon paints a darker picture in my mind. I start to read each google product as a folder in a CIA Sharepoint system - Only to be kept around until it is no longer valuable to the agency. Each with some sort of ulterior mission that seems ever-narrower in scope.
