Quotes
- “When you use Google, do you get more than one answer? Of course you do. Well, that’s a bug. We have more bugs per second in the world. We should be able to give you the right answer just once. We should know what you meant. You should look for information. We should get it exactly right and we should give it to you in your language and we should never be wrong. That’s our challenge.”
- “Technology will move faster than governments, so don't legislate before you understand the consequences...”
- “If you have something that you don’t want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place.”
- “I actually think most people don't want Google to answer their questions. They want Google to tell them what they should be doing next.”
- “Ultimately, in the Internet, openness has always won. I cannot imagine that the current competitive environment would reverse that.”
- “I fundamentally believe that disinformation becomes so easy to generate, because complexity overwhelms knowledge, that it's in people's interests, if you will, over the next decade, to build disinformation-generating systems. This is true for corporations, for marketing, for governments, and so forth." (Eric Schmidt in dialogue with Julian Assange, June 2011 c.f When Google Met Wikileaks, p. 174)”
