nope. They don't care about any of it.
The admins are in on some of the things going on too.

I'm sure that's why they got rid of the ability to search what people are saying on forum and blogs. Google still indexes everything, they just got rid of the filter.
Their results now give preference to SEO'd pages & adverts.
The old discussion filter returns an illegal request error https://www.google.com/?tbm=dsc
atleast with maps you have alternatives but with discussion search, there are no other options...
the voice of the people are forever banished in favor of SEO'd content
they don't just own the signals and sites... the own access to data about your digital life and their algorithms process it as another signal in mining your life.
Google said "don't be evil":

in 1984 George Orwell talks about TeleScreens,
Here's a little excerpt from wikipedia:
>"Telescreens are fictional devices which operate as both televisions and security cameras....telescreens are used by the ruling Party in Oceania to keep its subjects under constant surveillance, thus eliminating the chance of secret conspiracies against Oceania. All members of the Inner Party (upper-class) and Outer Party (middle-class) have telescreens in their homes, but the proles (lower-class) are not typically monitored as they are unimportant to the Party."
now consider recent NSA revelations (dragnet surveillance) including: http://www.wired.com/2014/07/nsa-targets-users-of-privacy-se...
Cellphones are Telescreens... they are a source of entertainment for most (like TV) and function as security cameras -- with your location and data connectivity being constantly logged, complete with backdoors which allow full remote access.
The middle class is being destroyed (http://time.com/money/2917709/wealth-inequality-doubled-over...) and anyone who opposes the party will be subject to indefinite detention (NDAA) or wiped out.
Apps are primarily a distraction mechanism and social networks are services which profile every aspect of an individuals life, data which can and will be mined and used against you if you commit a thought-crime.

tell that to apple.
it's very close the MarketCap of LinkedIn -- more reason why $19 billion for an App that generates $20million in revenue is/was ridiculous.
no more tech support jokes
it gives people the illusion that they're safe even though the actual incident which prompted the creation of the TSA and DHS has been ridiculously under-investigated and official conclusions' are full of holes.
If this bill passes there won't be news to blackout.
it's a damn shame that the new phones ship with the new version stock & you have to root to permanently uninstall it.
It should be noted that the NYT had scoop on the president spying on Civilians but they were told to hold off on the release on the grounds of "National Security" -- it was suppressed for 15 months. Then after Bush was back in office, the story broke and they won a prestigious prize for the 'revealing story'.
Greenwald's video here [https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=ho...]
You have to realize that our freedoms and everything were destroyed after 9/11. BUT have you analyzed 9/11 and looked at facts other than the official narrative? A super structure collapsed -- as in, perfectly imploded on itself after there were fires near the top of the building. There were also buildings that sustained no damages that collapsed.
If you still don't believe the NSA is monitoring you & that everyone who questions the narrative wears a tinfoil hat, then shame on you...
For those who are curious there are tons of resources out there but this one in particular is extremely exhaustive - making astonishing connections that typically spans 3 - 7 videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_fp5kaVYhk
I'm suggesting it so that you get a better understanding of present day America. When you realize that terrorism was manufactured as a scare tactic, that things like the TSA are just security theater your whole world view changes... sure it may be hard and you may not like it, but it's the truth.
You'll then realize that they've been using terrorism and national security as a means to keep you in fear, to erode your rights, to monitor your thoughts and communications, to control who you are and what you do...
