FB would be happy to replace the internet with Facebook. I think we've all known this for some time now. It's not their attitude, it's their entire reason for being. It's a form of totalitarianism that we don't have a word for; that's beyond most people's imagination.

It would be fitting for FB to change their motto (?) to "We're not evil either." Lol

Good joke there :)

Do you believe Google also has shown intents to be totalitarian or "be evil" ?

IMHO Google has handled their enormous power and popularity very well.

Fair Disclaimer: I must confess I'm a google user, not affiliated to them in any other way (that I know of) though :D

It's not what I believe. It's what the "data" shows. Sure you can believe the words. But it's actions that matter. And in that context "don't be evil" is comical at best.
