Obviously none of the existing comments in this thread have bothered to read the link. All that is really behind the headline is Page saying that users should be allowed to export their data to another service easily if they want to, not that google wants to index all facebook data...
- draggnar 14y agoI watched the entire interview last night and you are absolutely incorrect. Google absolutely wants to index all of Facebook's data, and used the repricosity idea as an example to frame it as a philosophical debate between openness and walled gardens. Larry Page said repeatedly the future of search, the next step, is learning about you. You personally and how when you search for "Ted Smith" the results show the results relevant to the Ted Smith you are connected to. There would be huge benefits to having all Facebook data searchable by Google, but the issue is privacy and whether people should have the choice to keep this information separate. The debate is both for a business one for the companies involved and a philosophical one.
