I find Google increasingly resembles the obese man in the Monty Python sketch [1] and like him comes across as a creepy, unpleasant and odious entity.

Its insatiable mining of human actions only sinks it uncontrollably further into its gluttony making it more and more oblivious and distant from anything human reducing them to mere actions and patterns.

There is no place for human niceties like privacy here. It thrives on dehumanization and the impersonal. Every single action is simply another data point to be analysed, patterned and consumed.
