So I hear Google pulled their speaker without giving any reason from @bgwebsummit where I’m giving the opening keynote.
Tsk, tsk.

But don’t just leave it to me: if you see Google reps at conferences, ask them what they think of their business model & if they’re ashamed.

And more conferences should ask themselves if they’re comfortable with how Google makes money via surveillance before inviting them to speak
-
And if you do invite surveillance capitalists to speak at your conferences, challenge them. Ask them the difficult questions.

(Unless, of course, your conference *is* a surveillance capitalism PR fest, as many of the largest ones are.)
