Rupert Murdoch has been tweeting about Google again. This time, it’s not about Google making money off the backs of newspapers or anything of that sort. This time, he’s blasting the company’s “invasion” of privacy.
NSA privacy invasion bad, but nothing compared to Google.

Oh the irony… “@rupertmurdoch: NSA privacy invasion bad, but nothing compared to Google.”
