Julian Assange: Google’s main focus is intelligence mining
“Google’s business model is intelligence mining. It brings the company 80% profit, ”ITAR-TASS quotes him.
He also noted that the company "collects information about people, assembles it, stores and classifies", and then "gets things to people to predict their interests and actions" and "sells the data, in most cases to advertisers, but also to others."
According to Assange, Google’s work is “almost identical to what the US National Security Agency (NSA) and the British Electronic Intelligence Service Headquarters (GCHQ-ShPS) do.”
According to the founder of Wikileaks, this corporation has serious marketing power.
“The playful logo of the company does not cause people to think that it is a big, bad American corporation, but in fact it has become so. It is now the most influential commercial organization in the world, ”he concluded.
In addition, Assange said that life in the embassy of Ecuador, where he has been for several years, creates "some difficulties."
"You can not meet with the sources. It is difficult to meet with the staff of my organization because of constant monitoring, ”he said.
