There's a nice little insider quarrel going on over Google's just-announced privacy policy changes. A number of sites and commentators have let their fingers jump up mechanically in accusatory fashion. Google, caught red-handed being evil!Here, I think, is a time when the word "bias" is actually warranted. Everyone wants so badly for Google to do something truly evil (instead of just questionable or inconvenient) that their perceptions of Google actions are actually being affected. Casting events systematically in a non-objective light is the exhibition of bias, and the continual presentation of policies one disagrees with as evidence of "evil" seems to fall under that category.Google going evil has become the Godwin's Law of tech commentary.
