A few bad habits Google, which the company prefers to keep secret

Google has become so big that in most cases it does what it wants, and does not care about whether someone knows about it. However, this company still has a few bad habits, which it tries in every possible way to hide. It's time to take a look at some of them.

Google does what it wants, with the data of other companies

In 2012, Google received information about potential customers from a secure database owned by the Kenyan company Mocality, to which it should not have access. Then representatives of Google began to wiretap the telephone conversations of competitors and used illegally received information to make more profitable offers to customers of competitors.

Their project of a car without a driver already makes it necessary to change government policy

Google literally created a market and an industry for self-managed cars. Some public documents demonstrate a fairly close relationship with some government officials who make the rules for self-governing cars convenient for Google. Simply put, this company, which is the leading producer of self-managed machines, determines how much government can intervene in this industry industry. Conflict of interest? What is a conflict of interest?

Street View and other similar services are too detailed

Finally the whole world was at the person on the palms. You can view beautiful cities, breathtaking views and dark avenues without leaving your computer. For teachers, this is a learning tool. For travelers this convenience. However, if you think about it, then these services can cause creeps on the skin. When Street View shows secret military bases or your house in detail for anyone who wants to rob it, it can cause real horror.

Racial profiling and discrimination in hiring

Google advertising services allow you to look into the past of any person. Moreover, the company has already made far more than one accusation of racial profiling, preferential treatment and other unscrupulous practices within the framework of AdWords and AdSense services.

Women's Day and other half measures to achieve equality

Google is known as a relatively good place to work for women, racial and ethnic minorities, representatives of the LGBT community and so on, but not always the company manages to confirm its reputation.

Google has all the information about you, the company does not need to spy on you, but it still does it

Google never forgets. In 2015, this feature of the search engine was considered in detail, when there was a debate on the topic that the user has the "right to be forgotten", that is, he can refuse to search results with a mention of his name.

Google loves network neutrality, but does not adhere to its principles

Network neutrality is an idea in which Internet providers do not have the right to interfere with the traffic of private sites. Google actively advocated for network neutrality, while itself did not fall for non-compliance with its principles.

Google is not a simple company, no matter how it insists on it

The director of the company Amazon said that the staff of the organization should be of such size that it could be fed with two pizzas. Google, of course, subscribed to these words. However, this was at the very beginning. Now the company is too huge to follow this principle.

The company has become too big

On a site where only Google employees share their opinions, one can find many reports on how well it was to work there earlier.

Full coverage of the company is impossible to imagine

There are a lot of good and bad aspects of the company that have not been described in this article. Evolution simply did not prepare humanity for something as vast and comprehensive as Google.
