Could you elaborate how Google is worse than Facebook? I thought the general (hacker) consensus was that Facebook has much more negative impacts on society.

That's (IMO, obviously) mostly driven by cognitive dissonance. Google provides such a useful product for nerds, that it must be an OK company, right?

Whereas FB is for social connections, which are often less important to many hackers than access to information.
