> I think their biggest sins are just being big.

yes, in fact they have become almost absolute monopolists (together with FB and a couple of others).

this is really bad.. if google decides not to show you something _it effectively does not exist_

i _really_ hope they still have the mantra of not being evil, but the temptation is trillions of dollars big :)

if they abuse your information, e.g. use it as fore knowledge, and act on it quicker than you can, they can do that in subtle ways without you even realising it.

so many ways to benefit from all this data.. who can monitor / control this?
