Google Changes Privacy Policy
jemecki writes "Yahoo reports that Google has updated their privacy policy on user data collection. The new policy now explicitly states that 'Google may use personal information to display customized content and advertising, develop new services and ensure that its network continues to function.' It also adds that employees who violate the policy will be fired and prosecuted. They have also added a Cliffs Notes version of their privacy policy for those who don't want to RTFPP."
If you'll read the fine privacy policy, you'll get a hint.
Read The Fucking Privacy Policy
Bradley Holt
They have a version of their privacy policy written in plain english?
Isn't that against federal law or something?
RTFM!

I read the fucking privacy policy, and it still didn't define RTFPP. WTF?

I've always found that profanity is the refuge of the inarticulate motherfucker.

That's it, I'm uninstalling my Google toolbar in Firefox and deleting the never-ending cookie. Guess I'll start using the dewey decimal system on the internet to look anything up. The internet is indexed properly correct?
First, Google Earth. Next, your online privacy! Who knows if they'll be spying on your house to see what kind of products you might want to buy!

When applying for a job, will google HR peruse my gmail to make sure I'm the right candidate.
Is Google going to become "EVIL"? Could the Media darling status eventually fade away, could the honeymoon pass, and could their stock be held to the same standards as other business (e.g. the dot-bomb model failed for a reason).... What will happen next?
Oh boy I can't wait to see. By the way, has anyone read the Gator privacy policy lately? Did Google copy a few lines?
Go ahead, flame me. I'm not trying to troll; it's just my warped sense of humor i guess.
Not to pick nits, but I think the correct term would be "Privacy Schmivacy". A subtle difference, no doubt, but one that makes me feel important.
