# Why I'm writing this letter
I am writing this letter because nobody else seems to be doing it, and I thought it should be written.
As I said earlier I write this with the occasion of the [[founders letter anniversary]], a date to me more significant for my relationship with the company than probably any other. In this occasion I was hoping for both the company and the wider internet to take the opportunity to have an open conversation about the general state of affairs as [[Google]] the /[[public company]] enters the third decade of a mostly deserved reign as internet search engine and provider of [[knowledge tools]] in the market. Instead so far I have seen the date go by mostly unnoticed. People seem jaded by the context, as if Google has lost their trust and can now be expected to [[do no better]] than other corporations; to act just as other corporations do, despite our [[founders letter]] being our public declaration of intentions. The base for which users, and stockholders, decided to trust Google early on.

I sincerely hope both company and wider society can recognize the opportunity to reflect together on the occasion. It seems, to me anyway, very apropos to stop for a moment and consider together how company, internet and market evolved and became [[entangled]] together in the last 20 years as we all (Google, Googlers, users and public society including other tech companies) aged -- and learnt, and grew -- and our roles shifted in the wider socioeconomic context. And what we can try to do about it.
