Sergei Brin and Larry Page couldn't have imagined when they were starting Google that they would be become enablers of fascism, wanton enemies of human rights. But if history is told by honest people, that is how they will be remembered.

(Not so sure about Larry Ellison...)

@dangillmor maybe you should look at what Sergei Brin and Larry Page have been saying lately.

They absolutely hoped to become monopolists, and to exercise fascist control, from day one.

Sergey Brin is 100% in bed with Trump, and has dined with him at the Oval. And calls anyone criticizing Israel 'antisemitic' while demanding they be hurt or killed.

Larry Page is an unhinged extremist. Immortality, AI 'supremacy,' algorithmic control of society, 'universal basic compute,' and more.

Nazis.

@dangillmor

They did imagine it, or they would not have chosen the motto "do no evil" (or whatever it was).

@bjb It was "don't be evil" and I'm certain they meant it at the time they said it.

@dangillmor @bjb Where I would say the "n't" was dropped in 2015 I think it was.

OK, the remaining motto was activated again a few years later.

@dangillmor @bjb I think at that time everyone thought that getting rich not gonna change people.
Despite having body of evidence saying otherwise.
As V says "I am not here for things you wanted to do, I am here for things you did".
