Dear Rupert is an open letter that tackled a point by point rebuttal of unflattering persuasions in a blog last week from Murdoch News Corporation to the European Commission.
According to the Senior Vice President of Global Communications of Google, Rachel Whetstone,
"We wanted to share our perspective so you can judge the arguments on their merits., Google is of course very popular in Europe, but we are not the gatekeeper to the Web, as some claim."
She stressed Google's efforts to fight piracy and illegal contents like sexual abuse images out of search results. "Platform for piracy and malicious content," the US firm said it "has done more than almost any other company to help tackle online piracy," as their respond to Murdoch's statement.
Google took down 222 million websites in 2013 because copyright violation and that the company has spent tens of millions of dollars in modern technology, such as ContentID, to work on You Tube piracy issue.
"Both remain the inspiration behind our next generation of big bets...self-driving cars; Loon (which offers Internet access in remote areas), Fiber (which delivers ultrahigh-speed connections) and more." Whetstone reiterated.
Here are some clips of Murdoch;s open letter to Google last week.
News Corp:
"The Internet should be a canvas for freedom of expression and for high quality content of enduring value."
News Corp:
Google is a "platform for piracy and the spread of malicious networks" and "a company that boasts about its ability to track traffic [but] chooses to ignore the unlawful and unsavoury content that surfaces after the simplest of searches"
The Internet had definitely interrupted the long-standing business models of the Murdoch's empire for the news operations. Google had been cooperating with media outlets to be linked with people in many ways and digitally ramps profits.
