Google is a paradox

Recent readings have resulted in the title: google is a paradox!

It is paradox in many ways. firstly, they lead the campaign for defending privacy, and call on the United Nations to set a universal privacy standard. However, Google's privacy policies have been under scrutiny recently, after Privacy International accused Google of being "hostile to privacy".

Secondly, Google has a widely known corporate slogan "don't be evil", but some accuse the search engine of being submissive to the Chinese government and being "doing evil".

Thirdly, Google has got a brand enforcement team, which is responsible for any other party use the brand or logo of Google without "express written permission". A London-based blogger, Frank Fuchs, said Google had ordered him to stop using its trademarked logo on his Web site. But Google itself has been the target of many copyright and trademark lawsuits, such as the Google library project, and the lawsuit filed by Viacom, AFP, and AmericanAirlines.

Google is really self-contradictory. Perhaps that is what Google is about.
