Google does not earn money, nobody pays for service (APIs and advertising is not a sufficient ROI to pay for datacenters).

Google is an artificial creation, with massive funding from financial tricks (stocks, dumping), because it has been created on purpose to hold up these information on a global scale, no matter the price.

Since it entered the financial sphere, google has killed all its competitors, and this is another proof that the competition was not fair.

Boycott is the only alternative, build our own parallel citizen network.

I also wonder what FEMA could do with these data in case of “emergency”, wiping out a few bad citizen is certainly an option.
