Google offers some wonderful products, such as Gmail, YouTube and Maps. Unfortunately, even though the services don't cost money, you pay for them through advertising and by handing the company your information. In other words, the search-giant is constantly tracking your activities.
Alex Jones of infowars.com is a controversial figure; some call him a conspiracy theorist. While I do not take everything he says at face value, I do appreciate his reporting and patriotic love for the American people. Whether right or wrong, Jones is very critical of Google and his perceived privacy-invading business practices. To prove a point about how Google is invading our lives, he decided to invade a public Google Fiber event. It did not go well.
As you can see in the video below, Alex politely entered the event with a camera man. Unfortunately, Google immediately told him that his video recording was prohibited. Jones used this as an opportunity to point out the hypocrisy of banning his filming while the search-giant had cameras of their own at the event -- including webcams on the laptops. A posted sign explicitly states that Google is recording everything. If Google is filming everyone, why can't Alex film too?
Do you think Alex Jones was out of line in the way that he behaved? Was Google wrong to ban his filming? Tell me in the comments.
