The cost of big business

I found an interesting article on Wired.com that discusses Google and the challenges it faces as it continues to grow as a company. Google was started by Sergey Brin and Larry Page in 1998. They had one rule: don't be evil. But what is evil? That is what Brin, 29-years-old and head policymaker, is trying to define. As Google becomes big business, it faces questions such as whether to link to hate sites and how to deal with foreign governments who don't want citizens to have access to anti-government websites. We will see if Google's size causes them to compromise on the purity with which they started their site.
