YELLOW-ROBED GOOGLE EMPLOYEE: Google isn’t interested in monetizing user data, Scott. Of course we do it, but that’s not our interest. It’s an industry standard. Google adheres to industry standards.
SCOTT: What is Google interested in, then?
YELLOW-ROBED GOOGLE EMPLOYEE: Google is interested in making it possible for our customers to understand and effectively respond to large sets of data.
SCOTT: What does “effectively respond to” mean?
YELLOW-ROBED GOOGLE EMPLOYEE: It depends on the customer.
YELLOW-ROBED GOOGLE EMPLOYEE: For our smaller customers–large businesses mostly–it means building markets for their products.
YELLOW-ROBED GOOGLE EMPLOYEE: For our larger customers it means either preserving or disrupting infrastructure.
SCOTT: That sounds like a polite way of saying “keeping what they have” and “taking away what someone else has.”
YELLOW-ROBED GOOGLE EMPLOYEE: Thank you so much!
