Google’s push into China is ‘shocking’: Oracle’s Larry Ellison

Oracle Co-Founder & Executive Chair Larry Ellison discusses the state of the U.S. economy and Google’s push into China.

This is the real IT genius.. we in the IT business adore him.
Google has no morality, no soul, no loyalty or patriotism, even its employees are disgusted with its own internal policies.

[nickbretz]

It's nice to see Larry Ellison showing people on the left that you can have nuance in your views. He may not like Trump's style, but at least recognizes the results and is open to discussion.

[Longball]

Why should it come as a surprise that Google is okay with moving into China and supporting surveillance and censorship. Aren't those the capabilities in which they specialize? They are big brother.

I was shocked months ago when I heard Google Engineers would not work on US Military projects

[papaholke]

CAN SOMEBODY....CREATE ANOTHER SEARCH ENGINE....AND YOU LL BE VERY GLAD TO USE THEM...

[johnhall]

Excellent interview. It confirms my concerns about Google and it’s tendency towards treason like behavior.

Do no evil indeed!

[VALour]

Now I like larry Ellison he is a great businessman

[jamescalifornia]

Well Google is a bad monopoly. Are we ready to give up _YouTube_ & _Google Search_ ...❓

[summerrr]

This dudes nearly 75 lol. Looking good Larry. Looking good.

[jorijudith]

Ellison! Brilliant.

*Brilliant brilliant brilliant. And thank you.*

[peterkapper]

Very clear interview, I rarely heard a person talk so neutral and reasonable about politics.

[sangwoohan]

He should run. I don't care for which party, I'll vote for him.

[largelysubatomic]

Google is enthusiastic about helping China throw Muslims, anti-communists, and investigative journalists in reeducation camps, but draws a red line when it comes to helping the US military.

[taiwanbirdman]

I am starting to like Larry Ellison after watching this interview.

[Kemet.]

Yes... because their goal is to beat America at all costs. The key to America is Africa... America already blew that market.

[yepperdeedooda]

You do not want to find out what the "shocker" is, trust me.

[billandyeng]

And exactly how many of these "surveillance databases" are powered by Oracle?

[caenterprisellc]

Let me just say we should not be trading secrets with China or any other country. That doesn't mean we should treat Chinese oriented citizens that live here in the US immoral and anyone who would think that should be questioned. It means we need to protect our US data and intellectual property.

[Avidcomp]

If you're fiscally conservative as well as being socially liberal, why is that "the middle"? Only because of the mistaken belief that politics are between left and right.
What would you think of a compass that was instead of circular, a rectangle with only East and West marked on it and no room for the needle to veer North or West?
The political narrative needs to pronounce left and right perceived choice, a redundancy. And the subsequent choices of political parties needs to reflect that.

[tonycaable]

Come on... us don’t spy on it’s own people..? Give me a better joke.
