> Nobody ask Facebook to open-source their algorithm or other fabrication secrets.
No, but Google isn't interested in algorithms. Facebook's main asset are user profiles and Google wants to use them free of charge in order to sell more ads. No sane company is going to share its main asset with other companies, let alone free of charge.
Now Google is playing the "everything should be open" card to make Facebook and Apple look bad and force them to share their main asset. But has Google opened-up their main asset?
Unless they open-up their search algorithm, Google's main asset, they shouldn't be blaming other companies for not being open.
That's why I think Brin is a hypocrite. And user data should be free to roam despite everyone's stance.
