so can anyone give a good reason why the Google search engine shouldn’t be nationalised, now that the pagerank innovation is no longer novel?
Do you mean nationalized or made public domain?
I was a little sloppy in my speech, my real question is given that corporations only exist at the sufferance of the public, what purpose does Google serve in its current form that couldn’t better be achieved by destroying it?
For actual nationalization, the US Government would be absolutely terrible at administering Google.
For having other companies copy pagerank, it wouldn’t be used to subsidize all the other various Google ventures that have benefits for internet users.
