The vast majority of people in any organisation are good people who want what's best in the sense of the greater good - that does not prevent organisations from doing bad things.

No. The vast majority of people in any organisation are timid folks who want what's best in the sense of the greater good, unless the greater good involves any courage on their part. These people are congenial, but don't confuse those with good people.

I don't hold the leadership at Google with the same contempt as I hold the leadership at say Verizon, GE, Ford, or News Corp (WSJ). I'm sure given enough time all corporations are categorically evil but Google isn't there yet.
