Google is also privately owned.


Companies don't lose privately-owned status once they start selling stocks? Google's IPO was in 2004.


It's just privately owned by a larger pool of people. It's "gone public" in that any individual can join that pool by paying the appropriate fee.

I can stop using google and google share holders can drop google stock. I can't drop the senate, or their friends in the industry that decides to buy protection against it's inability to change and survive. :(
