Google	Morozov	I 29 Google/Morozov: as the past few years show, Google is not driven by an ideology of openness or public; at this point it seems to be concerned only with competition in the market. When it felt so far ahead of Facebook and Apple, it built open platforms and launched unprofitable but useful services. But these times are long gone: it has turned off many of the platforms celebrated by Jarvis (see Google/Jarvis) and has become much more cautious by charging fees for some services and eliminating others altogether. I 147 Google/Morozov: Google may not feel comfortable in its role as a guardian of our public life. (...) Its business conduct is in constant conflict with its responsibility in public life, whereas the former has always won so far. I 148 Eric Schmidt ((s) former head of Google) describes people as Google's customers, who he does not want to criticize for what they do, even if it is idiotic ⁽¹⁾. MorozovVsSchmidt: by describing people as customers, he takes a lot of pressure from Google's shoulders. (...) It makes its public ((s) political) role disappear. This neutrality is con... Algorithms/Filter/Search Algorithms/Search Filters/Morozov: we need to stop thinking that new filters (...) are superior to previous practices - they may only be faster, cheaper and more efficient. Algorithms/Filter/Weinberger/Morozov: David Weinberger is completely mistaken when he writes that the "Internet" filters would no longer filter out something, but bring something forward. ⁽²⁾. >Algorithms. I 149 MorozovVsWeinberger: he gives Silicon Valley a moral free ride ticket and also makes the mistake of internet centrism (See Terminology/Morozov) to believe that such filters, simply because they came from "the internet", are somehow divine and free of tendencies. 1.

Google	Jarvis	Morozov I 28 Google/Jarvis/Morozov: the definition of Internet values is notoriously difficult. Take someone like the Internet expert Jeff Jarvis, who argues in his first book "What Would Google Do?" ⁽¹⁾ that other institutions should copy Google's business philosophy, both for profit and for non-profit purposes. His argumentation is: "The Internet" seems open, public and collaborative. Google seems to be like that as well, and it is thriving. Therefore, its values are openness, publicity and cooperation; these are also Internet values that bring profits and efficiency. MorozovVsJarvis: This logic is so circular that there is no way for experts like him to be wrong. (See Google/Morozov) 1. Jeff Jarvis, What Would Google Do?, 1st ed. (New York: Harper Collins, 2009).

Google	Sunstein	I 5 Google/Sunstein: how can a company predict its own development? Google has tried this with an innovative method. ⁽¹⁾ In doing so, they created a virtual market in which employees invested expected amounts of money. >Collective Intelligence, >Markets, >Information Marketss. 1. “Putting Crowd Wisdom to Work,” Sept. 21. 2005, http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2005/09/putting-crowd-wisdom-to-googleblog.blogspot.com/2005/09/putting-crowd-wisdom-to-work.html.

And one day this will severely take revenge". Habermas Seyn: spelling in late work, Vs traditional ontology. I 123 HeideggerVsHerder: there is no general language. >Language/Foucault, Language/Davidson. HeideggerVsPhilosophy: Vs Division into individual areas and thus scientification. I 171 Subject/Object: HeideggerVs this traditional, space-creating differentiation. Instead: "Walten sui generis". VsDichotomies: Truth/Untruth, - Theory/Practice - Freedom/Necessity - Belief/Wisdom - Divine/Human - Vs Categories constituting totality: Being as substance, happening as consciousness, God as prima causa, will as thing in itself (VsSchopenhauer). II 36 HeideggerVsLogic: "dissolves in the vortex of an original questioning..." II 56 Signs/Heidegger: Vs The becoming predominant of the sign character of the word. This must be destroyed. (>Rorty: Sounds become more important, search for original words: Language/Rorty) . II 66 "Indian thinking": does not need the human. (Heidegger Vs). II 131 HeideggerVs "culture enterprise". But he respectfully speaks of "culture", no contemporary thinker is "big enough" to bring thinking directly and in a shaped form before his cause and thus on his way. (Spiegel Interview with M. Heidegger: R. Augstein,Der Spiegel Nr. 23, 31. 05. 1976).	Hei III Martin Heidegger Sein und Zeit Tübingen 1993
