Compliance with the Stop Online Piracy Act would require huge overhead spending by Internet companies for staff and technologies dedicated to monitoring users and censoring any infringing material from being posted or transmitted.
We want to strike the right balance between the governments and our users. If there are concerns, we can work together.

The opinions of a convenience sample… may not represent all users.
TIA was being used by real users, working on real data – foreign data. Data where privacy is not an issue.

We can’t have democracy if we’re having to protect you and our users from the government over stuff we’ve never had a conversation about. We need to know what the parameters are, what kind of surveillance the government is going to do, and how and why.
The OECD advocates a risk-based approach to water security and is calling on governments to speed up their efforts to improve efficiency and effectiveness of water management. We recommend improving water pricing to recover costs and to reflect the value of water to users and society.
We know that Google Earth and Google Maps have had a tremendous impact on Google traffic, users, brand, adoption, and advertisers. We also know Google News, for example, which we don’t monetize, has had a tremendous impact on searches and on query quality. We know those people search more. Because we’ve measured it.
Many thought it was a fool’s errand – that the browser companies were never going to listen to us. Others argued that, ‘Users don’t care if you use Web standards.’ Well, of course they don’t. They just know that your site works better.
We ship a new version of Google Play Services every six weeks. Typically, 90 percent of users are on the new version of that.

Access to Internet and content should be free for users which can get accommodated by advertisements.
You have to know what your users are experiencing.

Tokens align incentives between developers, contributors, users, and investors. They allow everyone who wants to contribute to a project early the opportunity to get in on the ground floor.

I think it is going to be hard for individual OEMs to create a platform on top of which people will write content and services and which users will transact.
