Via /. an interesting article by Assange, on how Google acts as the long
technological arm of US imperialism:

| In June 2011, Julian Assange received an unusual visitor: the chairman
| of Google, Eric Schmidt. They outlined radically opposing perspectives:
| for Assange, the liberating power of the Internet is based on its
| freedom and statelessness.
| 
| For Schmidt, emancipation is at one with U.S. foreign policy objectives
| and is driven by connecting non-Western countries to Western companies
| and markets. These differences embodied a tug-of-war over the Internet's
| future that has only gathered force subsequently.
| 
| Assange describes his encounter with Schmidt and how he came to conclude
| that it was far from an innocent exchange of views.
