Coins2Day Brainstorm Podcast: Is Google a force for good?

Kevin Moloney—Coins2Day Brainstorm Tech

Each Coins2Day conference — from Brainstorm Green, Brainstorm Tech, to the Most Powerful Women Summit, and the Global Forum — yields fascinating conversations with the best and brightest minds in business.

Coins2Day wants to make it even easier for you to eavesdrop. The Coins2Day Brainstorm podcast is a weekly show that features recorded conversations from Coins2Day’s live events.

Google (GOOG) has been working through an antitrust probe with European regulators, so it seemed like a good time to check in on the recurring questions surrounding the tech giant’s power. As Google gains access to more and more information worldwide, its executives insist that the company, and technology as a whole, is a force for good. This week, we revisit a conversation between Google Chairman Eric Schmidt and venture capitalist and PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel. The conversation took place at Coins2Day’s Brainstorm Tech conference last year, and the two debate the merits of tech as a whole and Google specifically.

Coins2Day senior tech writer Miguel Helft sheds some light on Google’s self-image and the extent of the company’s might.
