I have always believed there is a God, but I just realized he is European. Last week, somebody actually had the courage to stand up to Google. Since only a God could stand up to the power of Google, the European high court must therefore be God?
Google, whose official motto is "Do No Evil," has arguably done more to shred the privacy of individual Americans than . . . even the NSA. Google has made billions of dollars selling billions of private facts about millions of people. They report or sell almost any information it can glean from a person's online life. Sometimes, they accidentally report or sell false information but refuse to correct it. Now, Google has to provide a method enabling people in Europe to challenge false information and have it removed. Just try doing that in the United States! Please, just try! Europeans now have greater privacy rights than Americans.
Unfortunately, I don't think there is a God in the United States that is strong enough to stand up in front of Google - you know, Free Enterprise and all that . . .
