query: Google has received significant criticism for privacy issues.

pos: Google Google is an American multinational technology company specializing in Internet-related services and products . These include online advertising technologies , search , cloud computing , software , and hardware . Google was founded in 1998 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while they were Ph.D. students at Stanford University , in California . Together , they own about 14 percent of its shares , and control 56 percent of the stockholder voting power through supervoting stock . They incorporated Google as a privately held company on September 4 , 1998 . An initial public offering ( IPO ) took place on August 19 , 2004 , and Google moved to its new headquarters in Mountain View , California , nicknamed the Googleplex . In August 2015 , Google announced plans to reorganize its various interests as a conglomerate called Alphabet Inc. . Google , Alphabet 's leading subsidiary , will continue to be the umbrella company for Alphabet 's Internet interests . Upon completion of the restructure , Sundar Pichai became CEO of Google , replacing Larry Page , who became CEO of Alphabet .   Rapid growth since incorporation has triggered a chain of products , acquisitions , and partnerships beyond Google 's core search engine ( Google Search ) . It offers services designed for work and productivity ( Google Docs , Sheets and Slides ) , email ( Gmail/Inbox ) , scheduling and time management ( Google Calendar ) , cloud storage ( Google Drive ) , social networking ( Google + ) , instant messaging and video chat ( Google Allo/Duo/Hangouts ) , language translation ( Google Translate ) , mapping and turn-by-turn navigation ( Google Maps ) , video sharing ( YouTube ) , notetaking ( Google Keep ) , and photo organizing and editing ( Google Photos ) . The company leads the development of the Android mobile operating system , the Google Chrome web browser , and Chrome OS , a lightweight operating system based on the Chrome browser . Google has moved increasingly into hardware ; from 2010 to 2015 , it partnered with major electronics manufacturers in the production of its Nexus devices , and in October 2016 , it released multiple hardware products ( including the Google Pixel smartphone , Home smart speaker , Wifi mesh wireless router , and Daydream View virtual reality headset ) . The new hardware chief , Rick Osterloh , stated : `` a lot of the innovation that we want to do now ends up requiring controlling the end-to-end user experience '' . Google has also experimented with becoming an Internet carrier . In February 2010 , it announced Google Fiber , a fiber-optic infrastructure that was installed in Kansas City ; in April 2015 , it launched Project Fi in the United States , combining Wi-Fi and cellular networks from different providers ; and in 2016 , it announced the Google Station initiative to make public Wi-Fi around the world , which had already been deployed in India .   Alexa , a company that monitors commercial web traffic , lists Google.com as the most visited website in the world . Several other Google services also figure in the top 100 most visited websites , including YouTube and Blogger . Google has been the second most valuable brand in the world for 4 consecutive years , but has received significant criticism involving issues such as privacy concerns , tax avoidance , antitrust , censorship , and search neutrality . Google 's mission statement , from the outset , was `` to organize the world 's information and make it universally accessible and useful '' , and its unofficial slogan was `` Do n't be evil '' . In October 2015 , the motto was replaced in the Alphabet corporate code of conduct by the phrase `` Do the right thing '' .

neg: Anna Patterson Anna Patterson has been described as one of the most important women in technology , winner of the 2016 ABIE Award , and one of the seminal contributors to search engines .

neg: Criticism of Yahoo! The multinational Internet corporation Yahoo! has received criticism for a variety of issues .

neg: Workplace privacy Employees typically must relinquish some of their privacy while at the workplace , but how much they must do so can be a contentious issue . The debate rages on as to whether it is moral , ethical and legal for employers to monitor the actions of their employees . Employers believe that monitoring is necessary both to discourage illicit activity and to limit liability . Although , with this problem of monitoring of employees , many are experiencing a negative effect on emotional and physical stress including fatigue , lowered employee morale and lack of motivation within the workplace . Employers might choose to monitor employees activities using surveillance cameras , or may wish to record employees activities while using company owned computers or telephones . Courts are finding that disputes between workplace privacy and freedom are being complicated with the advancement of technology as traditional rules that govern areas of privacy law are debatable and becoming less important .

neg: Privacy by design Privacy by Design is an approach to systems engineering which takes privacy into account throughout the whole engineering process . The concept is an example of value sensitive design , i.e. , to take human values into account in a well-defined manner throughout the whole process and may have been derived from this . The concept originates in a joint report on `` Privacy-enhancing technologies '' by a joint team of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario , Canada , the Dutch Data Protection Authority and the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research in 1995 .   __ TOC __

neg: Sandbox effect According to the theory of the sandbox effect , links which may normally be weighted by Google 's ranking algorithm , not least improving the position of a webpage in Google 's index , may be subjected to filtering to prevent their having a full impact . Some observations have suggested that two important factors for causing this filter to come into play are the active age of a domain , and the competitiveness of the keywords used in links .   Active age of a domain should not be confused with the date of registration on a domain 's WHOIS record , but instead refers to the time when Google first indexed pages on the domain . Keyword competitiveness refers to the search frequency of a word on Google search , with observation suggesting that the higher the search frequency of a word , the increasing likelihood that the sandbox filter effect will come into play .  While the presence of the Google Sandbox has been long debated , Google has made no direct disclosure on the matter . However , as the sandbox effect almost certainly refers to a set of filters in play for anti-spam purposes , it is unlikely Google would ever provide details on the matter . In one instance though , Google 's John Mueller , has mentioned that `` it can take a bit of time for search engines to catch up with your content , and to learn to treat it appropriately . It 's one thing to have a fantastic website , but search engines generally need a bit more to be able to confirm that , and to rank your site - your content - appropriately '' . This could be understood as the cause for the sandbox effect .   Google has long been aware that its historical use of links as a `` vote '' for ranking web documents can be subject to manipulation , and stated such in its original IPO documentation . Over the years Google has filed a number of patents that seek to qualify or minimise the impact of such manipulation , which Google terms as `` link spam '' .

neg: Google logo The Google logo appears in numerous settings to identify the search engine company . Google has relied on several logos since its renaming ( see History of Google ) , with the first logo created by Sergey Brin using GIMP . A revised logo debuted on September 1 , 2015 . The previous logo , with slight modifications between 1999 and 2013 , was designed by Ruth Kedar ; the wordmark was based on the Catull typeface , an old style serif typeface designed by Gustav Jaeger for the Berthold Type Foundry in 1982 .   The company also includes various modifications or humorous features , such as cartoon modifications of their logo for use on holidays , birthdays of famous people , and major events , such as the Olympics . These special logos , some designed by Dennis Hwang , have become known as Google Doodles .

Analytica is a private , self-funded company .

neg: False light False light is a legal term that refers to a tort concerning privacy that is similar to the tort of defamation . The privacy laws in the United States include a non-public person 's right to protection from publicity which puts the person in a false light to the public . That right is balanced against the First Amendment right of free speech .   False light differs from defamation primarily in being intended `` to protect the plaintiff 's mental or emotional well-being '' , rather than to protect a plaintiff 's reputation as is the case with the tort of defamation and in being about the impression created rather than being about veracity . If a publication of information is false , then a tort of defamation might have occurred . If that communication is not technically false but is still misleading , then a tort of false light might have occurred .  False light privacy claims often arise under the same facts as defamation cases , and therefore not all states recognize false light actions . There is a subtle difference in the way courts view the legal theories -- false light cases are about damage to a person 's personal feelings or dignity , whereas defamation is about damage to a person 's reputation .   The specific elements of the tort of false light vary considerably , even among those jurisdictions which do recognize this Tort . Generally , these elements consist of the following :  A publication by the Defendant about the Plaintiff ;  made with actual malice ( very similar to that type required by New York Times v. Sullivan in `` Defamation '' cases ) ;  which places the Plaintiff in a false light ; AND  that would be highly offensive ( i.e. , embarrassing to reasonable persons ) .   Some U.S. state courts have ruled that false light lawsuits brought under their states ' laws must be rewritten as defamation lawsuits ; these courts generally base their opinion on the premises that a ) any publication or statement giving rise to a false-light claim will also give rise to a defamation claim , such that the set of statements creating false light is necessarily , although not by definition , entirely within the set of statements constituting defamation ; and b ) the standard of what would be `` highly offensive '' or `` embarrassing '' to a reasonable person is much more difficult to apply than is the state 's standard for defamation , such that the potential penalties for violating the former standard would have an unconstitutional or otherwise unacceptable chilling effect on the media . However , `` most states do allow false light claims to be brought , even where a defamation claim would suffice . '' Roughly two-thirds of states do not recognize the false light claim . The states that do recognize it will not allow a plaintiff to maintain suit for both false light and defamation .

neg: Intellectual freedom Intellectual freedom encompasses the freedom to hold , receive and disseminate ideas without restriction . Viewed as an integral component of a democratic society , intellectual freedom protects an individual 's right to access , explore , consider , and express ideas and information as the basis for a self-governing , well-informed citizenry . Intellectual freedom comprises the bedrock for freedoms of expression , speech , and the press and relates to freedoms of information and privacy .   The United Nations upholds intellectual freedom as a basic human right through Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which asserts :  Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression ; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek , receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers .   The institution of libraries in particular values intellectual freedom as part of their mission to provide and protect access to information and ideas . The American Library Association ( ALA ) defines intellectual freedom as `` the right of every individual to both seek and receive information from all points of view without restriction . It provides for free access to all expressions of ideas through which any and all sides of a question , cause or movement can be explored . ''   The modern concept of intellectual freedom developed out of an opposition to book censorship . It is promoted by several professions and movements . These entities include , among others , librarianship , education , and the Free Software Movement .

neg: Sergey Brin Sergey Mikhaylovich Brin ( Серге́й Миха́йлович Брин born August 21 , 1973 ) is a Russian American computer scientist , internet entrepreneur , and philanthropist . Together with Larry Page , he co-founded Google . Brin is the President of Google 's parent company Alphabet Inc. .   , Brin is the 13th richest person in the world , with an estimated net worth of US$ 39.8 billion .   Brin immigrated to the United States with his family from the Soviet Union at the age of 6 . He earned his bachelor 's degree at the University of Maryland , following in his father 's and grandfather 's footsteps by studying mathematics , as well as computer science . After graduation , he moved to Stanford University to acquire a PhD in computer science . There he met Page , with whom he later became friends . They crammed their dormitory room with inexpensive computers and applied Brin 's data mining system to build a web search engine . The program became popular at Stanford , and they suspended their PhD studies to start up Google in a rented garage .   The Economist referred to Brin as an `` Enlightenment Man '' , and as someone who believes that `` knowledge is always good , and certainly always better than ignorance '' , a philosophy that is summed up by Google 's mission statement , `` Organize the world 's information and make it universally accessible and useful , '' and unofficial yet sometimes controversial motto , `` Do n't be evil '' .

neg: Facebook like button The Facebook like button is a feature on the social networking website Facebook . It was first enabled on February 9 , 2009 . The like button enables users to easily interact with status updates , comments , photos , links shared by friends , and advertisements . Once clicked by a user , the designated content appears in the News Feeds of that user 's friends , and the button also displays the number of other users who have liked the content , including a full or partial list of those users . The like button was extended to comments in June 2010 . After extensive testing and years of questions from the public about whether it had an intention to incorporate a `` Dislike '' button , Facebook officially rolled out `` Reactions '' to users worldwide on February 24 , 2016 , letting users long-press on the like button for an option to use one of five pre-defined emotions , including `` Love '' , `` Haha '' , `` Wow '' , `` Sad '' , or `` Angry '' . Reactions were also extended to comments in May 2017 .   The like button is one of Facebook 's social plug-ins , in which the button can be placed on third-party websites . Its use centers around a form of an advertising network , in which it gathers information about which users visit what websites . This form of functionality , a sort of web beacon , has been significantly criticized for privacy . Privacy activist organizations have urged Facebook to stop its data collection through the plug-in , and governments have launched investigations into the activity for possible privacy law violations . Facebook has stated that it anonymizes the information after three months , and that the data collected is not shared or sold to third parties . Additionally , the like button 's potential use as a measurement of popularity has caused some companies to sell likes through fake Facebook accounts , which in turn have sparked complaints from some companies advertising on Facebook that have received an abundance of fake likes that have distorted proper user metrics . Facebook states in its Terms of Service agreement that users may only create one personal page , and it has ongoing efforts against the spread of fake accounts . In the United States , pressing the `` like '' button on a page is protected as freedom of speech under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution .

neg: Third-party doctrine The third-party doctrine is a United States legal theory that holds that people who voluntarily give information to third parties -- such as banks , phone companies , internet service providers ( ISPs ) , and e-mail servers -- have `` no reasonable expectation of privacy . '' A lack of privacy protection allows the United States government to obtain information from third parties without a legal warrant and without otherwise complying with the Fourth Amendment prohibition against search and seizure without probable cause and a judicial search warrant . Libertarians typically call this government activity unjustified spying and a violation of individual and privacy rights .

neg: Google Penguin Google Penguin is a codename for a Google algorithm update that was first announced on April 24 , 2012 . The update is aimed at decreasing search engine rankings of websites that violate Google 's Webmaster Guidelines by using now declared black-hat SEO techniques involved in increasing artificially the ranking of a webpage by manipulating the number of links pointing to the page . Such tactics are commonly described as link schemes . According to Google 's John Mueller , Google has announced all updates to the Penguin filter to the public .

neg: Rosetta Stone Ltd. v. Google, Inc. Rosetta Stone v. Google , 676 F. 3d 144 ( 4th Cir . 2012 ) , was a decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit that challenged the legality of Google 's AdWords program . The Court overturned a grant of summary judgment for Google that had held Google AdWords was not a violation of trademark law ( see federal Lanham Act , ( 1 ) ) .   Though other cases had addressed trademark infringement in the context of online keyword advertising ( see Playboy Enterprises , Inc. v. Netscape Communications Corp. , Google , Inc. v. American Blind & Wallpaper Factory , Inc. ) Rosetta Stone v. Google is considered the last serious American challenge to Google 's AdWord program . Though , Rosetta Stone ` won ' an overturn of summary judgment , the subsequent settlement between the two parties left commentators declaring the Google has ` won ' the keyword advertising trademark fight .

neg: Mark Lucovsky Mark Lucovsky is an American software developer who worked for Microsoft and who is now employed by VMware as Vice President of Engineering in charge of Cloud Foundry . He is noted for being a part of the team that designed and built the Windows NT operating system , which after Windows XP became the basis of all current Windows releases .   Lucovsky received his bachelor 's degree in computer science in 1983 from California Polytechnic State University , San Luis Obispo . He worked at Digital Equipment Corporation , where he came to the attention of Dave Cutler and Lou Perazzoli . When Cutler and Perazzoli moved to Microsoft to work on their next generation operating system , they asked him to join them .   Among his contributions to Windows NT was an eighty-page manual that he wrote with Steve R. Wood defining the Windows application programming interfaces for software developers working on the Windows NT platform . He also managed check-ins to the Windows NT source code , tracking each check-in and discussing it with the developer before allowing it to be committed . Lucovsky was instrumental in moving the Windows team from the homegrown SLM revision control system to a custom version of Perforce ( SourceDepot ) .   Mark Lucovsky has stated that Steve Ballmer , on being informed that Lucovsky was about to leave Microsoft for Google , picked up a chair and threw it across the room , hitting a table in his office . Lucovsky also described Ballmer as saying : `` Fucking Eric Schmidt is a fucking pussy . I 'm going to fucking bury that guy , I have done it before , and I will do it again . I 'm going to fucking kill Google , '' then resumed trying to persuade Lucovsky to stay at Microsoft . Ballmer has described this as a `` gross exaggeration of what actually took place . ''   Lucovsky worked on the Microsoft . NET My Services product ( codenamed Hailstorm ) prior to moving to Google . At Google , he served as a Technical Director for the Ajax Search API . He joined VMware in July 2009 .

neg: Privacy regulation theory Privacy regulation theory was developed by social psychologist Irwin Altman in 1975 . This theory aims to explain why people sometimes prefer staying alone but at other times like get involved in social interactions . Traditionally , privacy is regarded as a state of social withdrawal ( i.e. , avoiding people ) .  Altman , however , regards it as a dialectic and dynamic boundary regulation process  where privacy is not static but `` a selective control of access to the self or to one 's  group '' ( p. 18 ) . According to Altman , `` dialectic '' refers to the openness and closeness  of self to others ( i.e. , seeking and avoiding social interaction ) ; while `` dynamics ''  indicates that the desired privacy level ( i.e. , the ideal level of contact at a particular  time ) , which varies due to individual and cultural differences , continuously moves along  the continuum of openness and closeness in response to different circumstances over time .  In other words , the desired privacy level changes with time according to environment . Therefore , we might want to avoid people at a particular time but desire contact at another time .   Altman also believes the goal of privacy regulation is to achieve the optimum level  of privacy ( i.e. , the ideal level of social interaction ) . In this optimizing process , we all strive to match the achieved privacy ( i.e. the actual level of contact at a specific time )  with the desired one . At the optimum level of privacy , we can experience the desired solitude when we want to be alone or enjoy the desired social contact when we want to be with people . However , if our actual level of privacy is greater than the desired one , we will feel lonely  or isolated ; on the other hand , if our actual level of privacy is smaller than the desired  one , we will feel annoyed or crowded .  According to Altman , if we effectively control the openness and closedness of self  to others ( i.e. , make ourselves more or less available to others ) in response to our  desire and the environment , we can function better in society than those who can not .  In order to regulate our privacy ( i.e. , social interaction ) successfully , we need to  use a variety of behavioral mechanisms such as verbal , paraverbal and non-verbal behavior ,  environmental mechanisms of territoriality and personal space , etc. .  By combining these behavioral mechanisms ( i.e. , techniques ) , we can effectively express  our desired privacy level to others in order to achieve the optimum level of privacy .

neg: Google Gadgets Google Gadgets are dynamic web content that can be embedded on a web page . They can be added to and interact strongly with Google 's iGoogle personalized home page ( discontinued in November 2013 , although iGoogle Gadgets still work on other websites ) and the Google Desktop ( discontinued in September 2011 ) application , as well as Google Wave ( also no longer supported by Google ) and Google Sites . Webmasters can add and customize a gadget to their own business or personal web site , a process called `` syndication '' .   Gadgets are developed by Google and third-party developers using the Google Gadgets API , using basic web technologies such as XML and JavaScript .

neg: Division (business) A division of a business , sometimes called a business sector , is one of the parts into which a business , organization or company is divided . The divisions are distinct parts of that business . If these divisions are all part of the same company , then that company is legally responsible for all of the obligations and debts of the divisions . However , in a large organization , various parts of the business may be run by different subsidiaries , and a business division may include one or many subsidiaries . Each subsidiary is a separate legal entity owned by the primary business or by another subsidiary in the hierarchy . Often a division operates under a separate name and is the equivalent of a corporation or limited liability company obtaining a fictitious name or `` doing business as '' certificate and operating a business under that fictitious name . Companies often set up business units to operate in divisions prior to the legal formation of subsidiaries .   Generally , only an `` entity '' , e.g. a corporation , public limited company ( plc ) or limited liability company , etc. would have a `` division '' ; an individual operating in this manner would simply be `` operating under a fictitious name '' .   An example of this would be to look at Hewlett Packard ( HP ) , the computer and printer company . HP has several divisions , with the printer division , that makes laser and inkjet printers , being the largest and most profitable division . The divisions of HP , like the Printing & Multifunction division , the Handheld Devices ( includes the old calculator ) division , the Servers division ( mini and mainframe computers ) , etc. , all use the HP brand name . But , Compaq ( a part of HP since 2002 ) , operates as a subsidiary , using the Compaq brand name .   Mack Trucks continues to run itself separately , but is a wholly owned subsidiary of AB Volvo . Volvo Trucks also sells trucks under the Volvo name . Within Mack , there is a division named Mack de Venezuela C.A. that does final assembly and sells trucks in South America .   Another less obvious example is that Google Video is a division of Google , and is part of the same corporate entity . But the YouTube video service is a subsidiary of Google because it remains operated as YouTube , LLC , a separate business entity even though it is owned by Google .

neg: Trademark infringement Trademark infringement is a violation of the exclusive rights attached to a trademark without the authorization of the trademark owner or any licensees ( provided that such authorization was within the scope of the licence ) . Infringement may occur when one party , the `` infringer '' , uses a trademark which is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark owned by another party , in relation to products or services which are identical or similar to the products or services which the registration covers . An owner of a trademark may commence civil legal proceedings against a party which infringes its registered trademark . In the United States , the Trademark Counterfeiting Act of 1984 criminalized the intentional trade in counterfeit goods and services .   The ACTA trade agreement , signed in May 2011 by the United States , Japan , Switzerland , and the EU , requires that its parties add criminal penalties , including incarceration and fines , for copyright and trademark infringement , and obligated the parties to actively police for infringement .   In many countries ( but not in countries like the United States , which recognizes common law trademark rights ) , a trademark which is not registered can not be `` infringed '' as such , and the trademark owner can not bring infringement proceedings . Instead , the owner may be able to commence proceedings under the common law for passing off or misrepresentation , or under legislation which prohibits unfair business practices . In some jurisdictions , infringement of trade dress may also be actionable .   Where the respective marks or products or services are not identical , similarity will generally be assessed by reference to whether there is a likelihood of confusion that consumers will believe the products or services originated from the trademark owner .   Likelihood of confusion is not necessarily measured by actual consumer confusion , though normally one of the elements , but by a series of criteria Courts have established . A prime example is the test announced by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in AMF , Inc v. Sleekcraft Boats , 599 F. 2d 341 ( C.A. 9 ) 1979 . The Court there announced eight specific elements to measure likelihood of confusion :  Strength of the mark  Proximity of the goods  Similarity of the marks  Evidence of actual confusion  Marketing channels used  Type of goods and the degree of care likely to be exercised by the purchaser  Defendant 's intent in selecting the mark  Likelihood of expansion of the product lines   Other Courts have fashioned their own tests for likelihood of confusion -- like those announced in In re E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. , 476 F. 2d 1357 , 177 USPQ 563 ( CCPA 1973 ) , known collectively as the DuPont factors .   If the respective marks and products or services are entirely dissimilar , trademark infringement may still be established if the registered mark is well known pursuant to the Paris Convention . In the United States , a cause of action for use of a mark for such dissimilar services is called trademark dilution .   In some jurisdictions a party other than the owner ( e.g. , a licensee ) may be able to pursue trademark infringement proceedings against an infringer if the owner fails to do so .   The party accused of infringement may be able to defeat infringement proceedings if it can establish a valid exception ( e.g. , comparative advertising ) or defence ( e.g. , laches ) to infringement , or attack and cancel the underlying registration ( e.g. , for non-use ) upon which the proceedings are based .

neg: South Korean web culture South Korean web culture indicates distinct activities that South Korean internet users enjoy on the web . Most of the internet users are in the 13 - 50 age range . People often access the Internet through cyber cafes ( Korean : PC방 ; PC bang ) .   Most of the activities are targeted to teenagers and college students . Youngsters who feel more comfortable texting than talking are known as the `` thumb tribe '' . The LG Mobile World Cup , an international competition held on January 14 , 2010 , in which participants competed using their texting speed and accuracy was won by a pair of South Koreans .   Highly urbanized at 92 % , South Koreans lead a distinctive urban lifestyle ; half of them live in high-rises concentrated in the Seoul Capital Area with 25 million residents . The rise of online social activities closely mirrors the wider cultural trend towards shared spaces , such as the habitual use of coffee houses .   South Korea enjoys the world 's swiftest Internet speeds and the highest rate of Internet penitration but also suffers from very high censorship of content .

A journalist in his youth , he went on to write thirty-five books and some of the most entertaining screenplays and plays in America . He received screen credits , alone or in collaboration , for the stories or screenplays of some seventy films .   At the age of 16 , Hecht ran away to Chicago , where in his own words he `` haunted streets , whorehouses , police stations , courtrooms , theater stages , jails , saloons , slums , madhouses , fires , murders , riots , banquet halls , and bookshops '' . In the 1910s and early 1920s , Hecht became a noted journalist , foreign correspondent , and literary figure .

neg: B movie A B movie is a low-budget commercial movie , but one that is not an arthouse film . In its original usage , during the Golden Age of Hollywood , the term more precisely identified films intended for distribution as the less-publicized bottom half of a double feature . Although the U.S. production of movies intended as second features largely ceased by the end of the 1950s , the term B movie continues to be used in the broader sense it maintains today . In its post -- Golden Age usage , there is ambiguity on both sides of the definition : on the one hand , the primary interest of many inexpensive exploitation films is prurient ; on the other , many B movies display a high degree of craft and aesthetic ingenuity .   In either usage , most B movies represent a particular genre -- the Western was a Golden Age B movie staple , while low-budget science-fiction and horror films became more popular in the 1950s . Early B movies were often part of series in which the star repeatedly played the same character . Almost always shorter than the top-billed films they were paired with , many had running times of 70 minutes or less . The term connoted a general perception that B movies were inferior to the more handsomely budgeted headliners ; individual B films were often ignored by critics .   Latter-day B movies still sometimes inspire multiple sequels , but series are less common . As the average running time of top-of-the-line films increased , so did that of B pictures . In its current usage , the term has somewhat contradictory connotations : it may signal an opinion that a certain movie is ( a ) a genre film with minimal artistic ambitions or ( b ) a lively , energetic film uninhibited by the constraints imposed on more expensive projects and unburdened by the conventions of putatively `` serious '' independent film . The term is also now used loosely to refer to some higher-budgeted , mainstream films with exploitation-style content , usually in genres traditionally associated with the B movie .   From their beginnings to the present day , B movies have provided opportunities both for those coming up in the profession and others whose careers are waning . Celebrated filmmakers such as Anthony Mann and Jonathan Demme learned their craft in B movies . They are where actors such as John Wayne and Jack Nicholson first became established , and they have provided work for former A movie actors , such as Vincent Price and Karen Black . Some actors , such as Bela Lugosi , Eddie Constantine and Pam Grier , worked in B movies for most of their careers . The term B actor is sometimes used to refer to a performer who finds work primarily or exclusively in B pictures .

neg: Deliverance Deliverance is a 1972 American rural horror film produced and directed by John Boorman , and starring Jon Voight , Burt Reynolds , Ned Beatty and Ronny Cox , with the latter two making their feature film debuts .

neg: Film series A film series ( also referred to as a film franchise ) is a collection of related films in succession that share the same fictional universe , or are marketed as a series .   Sometimes the work is conceived from the beginning as a multiple-film work , for example the Three Colours series , but in most cases the success of the original film inspires further films to be made . Individual sequels are relatively common , but are not always successful enough to spawn further installments .   The Marvel Cinematic Universe is the highest grossing film series in unadjusted US Dollar figures surpassing the Harry Potter , Star Wars , James Bond , and Peter Jackson 's The Lord of the Rings series . However , `` Star Wars '' has the highest when adjusted for inflation .
