They wanted “to develop services that significantly improve the lives of as many people as possible”

2013 Founders’ Letter (Excerpts): 

Sergey and I started Google because we wanted “to develop services that significantly improve the lives of as many people as possible” (Founders’ IPO Letter, 2004).  We’ve stayed true to that mission, placing long-term bets on new technologies that users truly love—from Search to Gmail, Maps, Chrome, YouTube, and Android.  We’ve covered a lot of ground in a short space of time and so people naturally ask, what is Google today, and where are you heading?  It’s a good question.

'The Day We Fight Back' Campaign - February 11th 2014

What was "The Day We Fight Back Campaign against Mass Surveillance" all about?

Here's what a few media giants think about NSA and mass surveillance. Take a look.

Mass Surveillance

The NSA "has secretly broken into the main communications links that connect Yahoo and Google data centers around the world."
 - The New York Times

-------------------------------------------------

The NSA collects the content and metadata of emails, web activity, chats, social networks, and everything else from fiber-optic cables "that carry much of the world's Internet and phone data."
 - Washington Post


We invite opinion from readers if they think 'mass surveillance is a violation of inalienable human rights'.
