Unleashed: Transcript of Griffin/Cleland talk on Google, net neutrality, monopolies, click fraud, privacy
For those who like the written format, here is the transcript of ChipGriffin’s interview of me on all things Google.
The transcript is just below the podcast button to hear the interview.
This interview turned out to be one of the most comprehensive and in-depth discussions I have had on all things Google — that’s been captured for web listening or reading.
We discussed:
- What’s my concern with Google?
- Where is Google abusing its power?
- What are they doing today that exhibits their power?
- Why aren’t Google complaints just sour grapes?
- What’s the solution?
- What’s my stance and involvement in Net neutrality debate?
- What about the threat to innovation from metered pricing?
- Is net neutrality price control?
- What about a Google-Yahoo deal?
- What’s Google’s objection to taking down al Qaeda content?
- Isn’t Google a guardian of privacy?
- Why do you focus so much on Google?
Enjoy!
