Privacy Commissioners Take Aim at Google

Posted April 21, 2010 11:01 AM

From NYT > Technology:

Google is being criticized for its privacy practices on the very day it is unveiling a site meant to show the extent to which governments are forcing it to hand over its users' private data. Today 10 foreign privacy commissioners — from Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain and Britain — released a letter criticizing the search giant for negligence in protecting user privacy.

Let me see, Facebook, Google, Internet Banking (thats a good one!) any communication on any server, network, host and so on and you as a educated, thinking, rational being, actual believe anyone could provide user privacy.

Type it, touch it or mail it...and its no longer private! If anyone thinks that the Vail of privacy exists is an idiot. Just an opion!!!

Oh buy the way, I wounder how the "Fed" knows so much about what goes on in non-conformal organisations if everything was so privite...

The question is, how much privacy and who controls it.

You never know...you might be on the "LIST".

Hay, you guys reading this, wink-wink, I think the current administration is doing a fine job in governing!!
