NYT Discovers the Panopticon

Posted by michael on from the stalker's-delight dept.

Erris writes "Should we be surprised at the NYT attacking search engines? This article seeks to blame Google for all privacy loss, as if someone else remembering and sharing the things YOU publish is worse than credit card purchase databases, phone records, credit records being created and shared by OTHERS without your consent. Libraries must really be evil."

    Looks like that random id generator isn't working any more. Or is it just me not able to get it working?

    It seems clear that Corporations wish to prevent criticism about them on the Internet - and your ability to find things on them using search engines.

    The authorities know how to make trademark domains unique and totally distinctive. They hide this for several reasons - including to stop you calling them by name. They are all corrupt folks.

    Virtually every word is trademarked, be it Alpha to Omega or Aardvark to Zulu, most many times over. MOST share the same words or initials with MANY others in a different business and/or country. For example, the World Trade Organization (WTO) shares its initials with five trademarks - in the U.S. alone.

    The authorities prevent ALL from using their name - without 'consumer confusion', 'trademark conflict' and 'passing off'.
