Heavenly Father, today we bring before you the
responsibilities and complications that are part of Google’s existence. We are
thankful that Google is growing ever-diligent in making sure its users are not
creating harm through its platforms. We also know that shutting down users and
blocking content are gray areas. We pray for wisdom for those who make these
decisions at Google, as well as for other massive social media influencers.
Today we are thankful that Google was able to prevent the Chinese government
from spreading propaganda about the Hong King protests through YouTube. We are
also thankful Google is taking action to protect users in Kazakhstan,
where the government made attempts to spy on every citizen through a required a
government-issued certificate. We are thankful for these positive steps taken,
but always wary about privacy, censorship and the other significant issues
associated with social media usage. Grant wisdom to us as individuals and to
those who exert influence through social media companies. In Jesus’ name we
pray, amen.
