Google was a venture-funded company. Being part of that brings an energy to the company.

I don't write about Google except to insult the company.

I think Google is a great company, and they're doing really cool things. But they're not doing things that are going to put us, I think, into the next generation of technology.

Google is more than a business. Google is a belief system. And we believe passionately in the open Internet model.

Google has long been a leftist company.

Google was founded to get information to everybody. A by-product of that strategy is that we invented an advertising business which has provided great economics that allows us to build the servers, hire the employees, create value.

Google is a private company. It has the capacity to utilize its massive power for whatever political agenda it chooses. But for it to pretend to be an advocate for Internet freedom while simultaneously disadvantaging messages it finds politically incorrect is deeply hypocritical.

When Google reached out to me in 2011, they wanted me to build out their female lifestyle vertical. When they were starting with that initiative, they were giving each production house a million dollars to produce content.

Google can say they are not in the content business, but if they are paying people and distributing and archiving their work, it is getting harder to make that case.
