    In today’s world, the net has become section of our everyday lives. We can easily communicate through email, post pictures, and also pay bills all with the click of a button. Needless to say, a lot of our personal and private information can be found over the internet, but recently however, the U.S. government has been under fire for your non-warranted surveillance of the information, and Google workers are outraged.

    For a company like Google, a number of issues will surface because of this. Firstly, Google is a tech company using a global infrastructure, so wherever their professional services are used, information is going to be sent onto an international network. If the U.S. government has the capacity to gain access to this information, countries in other areas of the world will not likely feel safe using Google’s services. Brazil by way of example, is considering “data localization laws”, preventing Google from working in “one with the world’s most significant markets”.

    Something that arises is always that this completely is the opposite of not only Google’s undermining organizational culture, but business ethics generally speaking. To the public, Google has long been known as a positive destination to work, with lots of empowerment and intrinsic motivation for employees. When something their users realizes the information they give while using average settlement for invasion of privacy are already under surveillance through the government, it takes a huge lash at both trust they share, and also the revenue streams of Google.
