Isn't Google violating users' fundamental rights by 'controlling' choices? Parliamentary panel asks
A parliamentary panel on Thursday questioned the "neutrality" of Google when it is engaged in both advertising and content, and asked was it not violating the fundamental rights of users by "controlling" their choices. Top executives of the search engine appeared before the Joint Committee of Parliament on the Personal Data Protection Bill and responded to queries related to data security. According to sources, some panel members asked them the search engine is "controlling the choices of your users, isn't it a violation of fundamental rights?" A few MPs also posed queries about Google's linkages with public relations and image makeover agencies for positive public profiling of individuals on the web by suppressing critical content against them, sources said.
