The issue about China has received a lot of attention recently in the media and many (including myself) were largely ignorant of the other issues involving the corporation, especially those held on it’s users and customers. It seems vitally important that we are aware of what Google is able to store on us, as to my knowledge there is no obvious disclaimer on the site that indicates they will be holding our personal information. Additionally if a corporate company is able to have such a huge effect on the business of BMW, itself a massive company, then surely this suggests that some sort of sanctions must be in place to ensure that it is unable to control the market. I am thankful to Nouse for bringing to my attention the attitudes and actions of the company so as I may at least have the choice of using another search engine.
