OPINION:
Scott Cleland’s fretful “E-totalitarianism at Google” (Commentary, Tuesday) begs for the kind of political intervention free-marketers normally detest.
Mr. Cleland’s own words make the case for being hands-off, despite his apparent intent: “Google’s ethical blind spots regarding privacy and property rights are beginning to erode the public’s trust and eventually could threaten the company’s market domination.” Thus, the appropriate policy response is free enterprise, regardless.
