Unlike billions of worldwide users, Glenn Beck doesn't trust Google. And he plans on doing something about it. The conservative Fox News pundit announced on his show Wednesday that he will avoid using any Google products, and implored his viewers to follow suit.
Beck spent a good portion of his program outlining why Google's business ties should make people think twice about using the world's most popular search engine – and it's many other products.
"I'm just not sure, as I look into Google, that I want to use their products anymore unless I have to," Beck said. "And some of their products I think I have to. I'm not leading any boycott. I hate boycotts. You do with your time, your money, and your information what you want. For me, personally, I'm not feeling real comfortable about the current direction of Google the more I find out."
Beck has been very critical of Google in recent weeks, mostly stemming from the praise company executives have heaped on one of their employees, Wael Ghonim.
