CRITICISM OF GOOGLE

Google is a corporation that compiles information and makes it searchable via the Internet. Google's stated mission is "to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful,"  but this mission, and the means used to accomplish it, have raised concerns among the company's critics. The policies and practices for which Google has been criticized include its use of others' intellectual property, concerns that its compilation of data may violate people's privacy, censorship of search results, and the energy consumption of its servers. Much of the criticism of Google pertains to issues that have not yet been addressed by cyber law.

Today we were talking about : WikiLeaks.
WHO IS JULIAN ASSANGE?
Julian Paul Assange ( born 1971) is an Australian internet activist best known for his involvement with Wikileaks, a whistleblower website. Assange was a physics and mathematics student, a hacker, and a computer programmer before taking on his current role as Wikileaks' spokesperson and editor-in-chief.
WHAT IS  WIKILEAKS?
WikiLeaks is an international organization that publishes submissions of otherwise unavailable documents from anonymous sources and leaks.
According to Daniel Schmitt, a WikiLeaks spokesman, the site exists to "ensure the legally and technically protected retrieval of information from anonymous sources and to make available this information for the general public." It provides a secure online submission system for whistleblowers to upload documents, which WikiLeaks then makes available globally over the Web.

DO YOU THINK THIS PAGE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN OUR WORLD?
Yes, because if,for exemple, people see what is the army doing in Irak  stop it to do not turn to  be "caught"
