"The TPP requires the 12 participating countries to allow cross-border transfers of information and prohibits them from requiring local storage of data" Yup, definitely the wrong side of this. I can't see how this will get passed in the EU when it directly contradicts all the previous data protection rulings, but presumably there will be some undemocratic process.

This is absolute bullshit and you have no proof to back up your ludicrous claims.

For someone who hasn't been following it, what makes you say they are?
It's not necessarily google itself, but Eric Schmidt has a company called The Groundwork that has been working for her campaign. http://qz.com/520652/groundwork-eric-schmidt-startup-working...
Anyway, it raises the question of whether a board member / former exec can do things on his own time and dime without it reflecting on Google. Does everything that Schmidt does imply that Google is doing it too?

That's Eric Schmidt, not Google. While he may be the executive chairman for Google, those efforts are outside of Google's goals. If you want to look into where Google puts some of it's money, check out: https://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/lookup2.php?strID=C00428623
This is what irrational looks like. "just wrong" Um. Ok. Why? `limiting exploration of fair use` Unless you're one of those empirical people and like human experimentation, which is rather unethical when people's livelihoods are at stake, you can literally theorize that right now. Go ahead. Everybody's listening. Well, while you continue to think about that and have no answer, we'll continue using laws that protect c…
Google has come down on the right side of the TPP - for Google. The company is a major major major player for most of humanity outside of China. Even people who use exactly zero Google products or services are inextricably linked with those who do, by just a few degrees of separation. This deal would be a huge benefit to one of the most global corporations in history. I'm not defending Google by any means, but the co…

I only have additional anecdotes, but the claim has been leveled several times with varying degrees of convincing evidence. Here's another: http://siliconangle.com/blog/2016/06/10/google-is-manipulati...
For example they block "hillary clinton liar". They allow "hillary liar". They block "donald trump liar". They block "george bush liar", they allow "bush liar".
