The government and Google

[Puggit]

Accoeding to the Daily Wail, our government has held 23 meetings with Google since coming in to power - and there have been some moves between the parties as well.

What's going on here then? One thing that's growing clearer for me is that they are no closer to rescuing the economy because they are too busy schmoozing and not spending enough time working out how to do anything different!

With not knowing the subject matter of each of these meetings, how can anything good/bad be derived from this news?

I personally feel that with Google being a massive technology and IT company, the meetings would be about what the country needs to do to grow our IT industry and about the silicon roundabout place.

I suspect Google are lobbying pretty hard against internet censorship.
