Why can't we all collectively show an attitude of humble gratitude to an organization that has done so much to advance our civilization and improve our quality of life?

Can you expound on your opinion about what Google has contributed?

Not that I don't think they have, but I can think of a lot of corporations that have contributed more to civilization and quality of life, yet we are okay regulating them. So I'm not sure that's the best barometer for this discussion.

Because that organization has abused its power and gone from serving the public to ruling it.

Can you point out exactly when they crossed this line? Seems to me like they're pretty much doing what they've always done, and being punished for being the best at it.

Should I parse that to read you disagree with my characterization of Google? Care to elaborate?
