What if Google was evil? That is the question "Scroogled" explores. The article presents us with a vision of a world where Google runs everything. The customs officer Googles everyone who goes through customs at the airport. Google can read lips from their wide-angle webcams placed around making even non-internet conversations Google-able. The article takes a political tone when it is described that Republicans hate Google and Google is trying to make amends. Google's obsession with what Yahoo was doing becomes detrimental to their own set of ethics. Googlecleaner becomes the only way to erase your past.
