Privacy Complaint Against Google's GMail Service

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the that-didn't-take-long dept.

CRCates writes "Privacy groups in the UK have filed a complaint against Google over its new Gmail service. Privacy groups said they were concerned about Google's ability to link a user's personal details, supplied in the Gmail registration process, to Web-surfing behaviour through the use of a single cookie for its search and mail services.

    It's nearly impossible to go to any site or search engine that doesn't use Google for searches.

    Are you claiming that google has hijacked your DNS services so you can't reach yahoo, altavista, lycos, or msn for a search engine? As for "any site", 99.9% of the sites on the web don't use google's technology in any way. You're a freakin' moron.
