Threat for the 'Open Web'

In an interview published on sunday, Google's co-founder pointed attacks on the open Internet, including government censorship and interception of data, overzealous attempts to protect intellectual property, and new communication portals that use web technologies and the internet.

Google’s co-founder Brin lists several other threats to the open Web (and to Google):

• Smartphone apps, as led by Apple: "all the information in apps -- that data is not crawlable by Web crawlers. You can't search it."
• Facebook, where data goes in but never comes out: "Facebook has been sucking down Gmail contacts for many years."
• SOPA and PIPA, which Brin says would have led to the U.S. using the same content-screening technology it has criticized China and Iran for using.
