Ordinarily I''d just post a like like this one on the side bar but :apophenia: a
google horror story: what
happens when you are
disappeared is a crazy one. A couple years ago I did a scenario planning session that revolved around spammers hacking email accounts and impersonating people from your past. That''s not
exactly the story, but as "phishing" attacks get more and more sophisticated it''s heading in that direction. And google''s centralization of power sure is going to help in that process.
I''ve been terrified of google for a long while now for exactly these reasons. They just have too much power, too much information
centralized in one location. (Or really centralized and multiplied across multiple locations) It doesn''t really matter if google is good or evil, or both because that much info placed into one interface and virtual location ensures that bad shit is going to happen. You know like your entire digital identity being hijacked, used abused and then sold off as scrap to the highest bidders. Add in google''s god awful customer service (and a company with engineers at the helm is almost always ensured bad customer service) and the you''ve got an awfully frightening entity.
