>What you could do if you were Google and had their databases?

Try to predict election results and then try to influence them. Not exactly "Do no evil" I'll admit. Imagine what Google PR could do for politicians with access to what people are talking about, watching, browsing and chatting about in their social network. With their Ad technology they're already half way there.

Depends on who they're backing, right?

But even then, that's subjective. What's more evil, abortion or forced transvaginal ultrasound? Pollution, or unemployment? Kang or Kodos?
