Is It OK that Google Owns Us?

Short answer: No. It's not. Period. Especially when so clearly premeditated.

Although today, as Mr. Self-Appointed Identity Man (yep, every bit as self-appointed as the fairer gendered legacy version) has been saying for YEARS, eWeek now suggests, "The fury boils down to one question: whether or not it's OK for Google to own us."

eWeek goes on to add, "Make no mistake, Google owns you."

But it's such a cute word ... it's so ... gooogly and everything. Surely that can't be harmful.
