## Google could be fairer and freer
Google should strive to be as fair as it was around 2004. Fairer to all: fairer to employees, fairer to users (a.k.a. [[people]]), fairer to society at large and the greater internet ecosystem.
In which ways could Google be fairer? As per the proposals and ideas above and below, and others that improve overall happiness and utility at no large cost relatively speaking.
Google should strive to be freer. By this I mean not that it should become a non-profit but rather that profits should not get in the way of providing good quality services to people at minimum cost. By this I mean alternatively that Google should adequately compensate the users for their attention.

Read on for the positions and proposals that I thought fitting to share in public given my employment and what I think is [[right speech]] and [[right livelihood]]. But some arguments I will expand only in the version of this letter that only Googlers will see.

This might surprise you, but I think Google has been able to stay relatively close to this promise that seems very core to its original mission ([[to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful]]). Still, we could do better even.
