Google too powerful, warns German minister

Posted on January 11, 2010 by pogowasright.org

John Oates reports:

Google is in danger of becoming a monopoly like Microsoft and governments will soon have to act as regulators, the German minister of Justice has warned.

Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger believes Google is fast collecting too much information on individuals and needs to be more transparent. If this doesn’t happen, governments will have to act, the minister told Der Spiegel.
