Google’s Sergey Brin: Facebook and Apple a threat to Internet freedom

CNet:

He said that Facebook and Apple are stifling innovation and risk Balkanizing the Web, and went as far as to say that Google would never have come into existence if Facebook were dominant.

“You have to play by their rules, which are really restrictive. The kind of environment that we developed Google in, the reason that we were able to develop a search engine, is the web was so open. Once you get too many rules that will stifle innovation.”

Translation: they won’t let Google spy on everyone and harvest information that we can sell to advertisers.
