  First, this article needs a (2009) tag on the end of it, it's an old article.

  Second, from the article: "Someone admitted to using Google Earth for a theft." This line is used to support the idea that Google is "Evil".

  Theft is on the thief and any number of things can be used in a crime (car, tools, etc). Google Maps and Google Earth have vast utility beyond use in crime so I don't see the author's point holding up to scrutiny.

  since it's from 2009 we now know that Facebook was the most dangerous company in the world at that time. But they're on a downturn now.
