On March 6, 2009, Google CEO Eric Schmidt appeared on the Charlie Rose program, and made a profound statement about Google’s mission:
Charlie Rose: What was the original mission for Google?
Eric Schmidt: All the world’s information, universally accessible and useful.
Charlie Rose: And how we doing on that?
Eric Schmidt: Well, we’ve just started. And I would tell you that when you are 23 years old and you state that’s your mission, you’ve got a lot of years ahead of you. And Larry and Sergey still have a long way to go in that.
Google stores every single search, along with the IP address of the computer doing the search, and has done so since the beginning.
Google’s motto is “don’t be evil.” However, that didn’t stop them from cooperating with the communist Chinese government to further cement The Great Firewall of China, by restricting access to certain information deemed unacceptable by the regime. So much for their commitment to the universally accessible component of their mission.
While it’s falling behind in making the world’s information universally accessible, it’s moving ahead at breakneck speed in storing all the world’s information. This recent article talks about how much Google knows about you, and how their new tool, Google Dashboard, introduced this November, will show you exactly that.
It should be clear that Schmidt wasn’t speaking metaphorically when he said “all the world’s information,” he literally meant it. All the world’s information, stored by Google.

“Thank you for sharing your concern. As you may know, we currently only include articles from sources that could be considered organizations, generally characterized by the following: multiple writers and editors, availability of organizational information, and accessible contact information. This evidence of an organization is still not available on your site. We appreciate your interest in Google. Regards, The Google Team”
“Why not improve the brain? Perhaps in the future, we can attach a little version of Google that you plug into your brain. We’ll have to develop stylish versions, but then you’ll have all the world’s knowledge immediately available, which is pretty exciting.” – Brin, David Vise and Mark Malseed, The Google Story, page 292
“We are not scanning all those books to be read by people. We are scanning them to be read by an A.I.” – George Dyson, conversation with his hosts at Google
Thanks for sharing those quotes. I never even bothered trying to send any of my articles to Google News. I know all too well how these organizations change the goal posts when it suits their purpose. Even if you meet all those requirements, they’ll insist that they have sole discretion over what gets posted, for any reason whatsoever, with no explanation required.

I think Google wants to be the “All Seeing Eye” but that is a title and position “Reserved for Satan.” lol
That’s why I didn’t quote him saying, “store.”
It’s implied from all they’ve done since the beginning, and what I document from their own words, terms-of-use, and their actions, and even showing you what they are storing about you.
Once everything is universally accessible, by definition, it’s accessible through Google, and it will then be stored by them, as will all visitor information going through them.
Your title is utterly false. Schmidt didn’t say anything about “storing” anything. “Accessible” is completely different from “stored” and one doesn’t require the other.
