Η Google έχει αναφερθεί σαν “η καλύτερη εταιρεία για να εργαστεί κανείς στην Αμερική” από το Business Insider, and perhaps the message got through on Capitol Hill as 197 government people have moved to Google since Obama took office.
The image below symbolizes the "revolving door" and is made interactive by elements collected by the Campaign for Accountability (CfA).
The image is an attempt to reveal Google, and it is intended to give more light to the company we use every day, and we know little.
Executive Director of CfA Anne Weismann says:
Google has long been a staunch supporter of transparency in government businesses, even the privacy of users. However, it is not transparent in its relations with the government. The GTP will shine a light on how Google affects our government officials, public policies and the way we live.
The figures reveal that 28 movements between Google and the government involved the national better safety, the intelligence services or the Ministry Defense, μεταδίδει το TNW.
The company has hired strategic people from government agencies that have the most impact on business, such as the Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Trade Commission. Google, or rather its main law firm, has hired a number of people from the Federal Trade Commission, an organization that conducts research into the company's privacy and anti-monopoly behavior.
The CfA used publicly available data to show how often Google is invited to sit next to White House officials - revealing that it has had more than one meeting a week since Obama became president.
Total; 427 times.
