      It definitely is now. I guess it was then too, but maybe not to the same degree. Google still seemed to be bringing a lot of improvements to the world, and was still using the Don’t Be Evil motto. The public perception of Google back then was outstanding. I’m not sure how much of that was just because we weren’t fully aware of the depth of their tracking and intrusion.
