When considering the importance of Google within today’s society, it is often very difficult to think of internet usage without assistance of any kind from Google or their powerful and effective search engine. Even without the usage of their search engine to be able to find many websites on the great world wide web, Google has many other forms of tools and methods of interacting with the internet that makes it nigh on impossible to do anything on the internet without running into something Google owns or operates. Using anything from the search bar to any website with advertisements will bring up some sphere of Google’s influence upon the vast internet. The issue with this is that the vast majority of what a person does on the internet is recorded in some shape or form. Anything put out there from a person’s search history to the various advertisements they decided to interact with could be recorded for Google to use in any method they deem fit. The vast amount of information they hold of millions, if not billions, of people all over the world could be used for thousands of different projects Google might be able to create. This collection of data, often without consent, leads many people to believe that their basic rights to privacy have been violated. In many cases, it has. Many governments across the globe have found Google and their practices to be a violation of their terms of service or agreements made with either individuals or the government itself. This has caused millions of dollars in fines and punishments for Google as a company and has impacted many of the other companies and corporations Google owns. I believe that Google should be regulated in a way that prevents them from violating any of their agreements or contracts agreed upon by individuals or governments. However, they should still be able to act in a way that does not infringe upon their own rights as a company.
