Open this (http://www.pastie.org/3867284)in one tab, and have this (http://who.is/whois/google.com/) open in another, to check for yourself.
Some excerpts from the article behind the first link:
- "is a company that can own most people's "Internet" in minutes. It now controls all three top free e-mail providers directly, and I suppose it's safe to say, most currently active social media sites too.
- also is a trusted Certificate Authority; they have, in essence, the means to fabricate safe-looking SSL connections for you, to whichever host they want. Your browser will not sound any warnings of possible man-in-the-middle attacks.
- has acquired complete access to monitor, eavesdrop, censor and fake any user of these popular Internet services in about one year (2011).
- Not only inside U.S., but globally."
