[okfn-discuss] Googles role in the open movement

Thu Aug 7 11:55:50 UTC 2014

Hey 

I think this is great! 

But wouldn’t it be even more interesting to have Morozov and someone who has a less critical view on Google s role in the open data movement discuss on a panel? More discussion, less rant, perhaps a setup like:

Morozov, Doctorow, _who else here_ and some one from Google ;)

Should Google lead the way in the quests for a "global digital infrastructure for democracy"? Are google open enough? How about privacy issues? Censorship? Tax issues? Etc.
