Google Warns Users About "Unsafe Sites"

Dynamoo writes "The BBC is reporting that Google will start to warn users about unsafe websites, in particular those that host spyware or have privacy implications. The technology to do this has been developed in partnership with StopBadware, and appears to be an alternative to the popular McAfee SiteAdvisor application. Perhaps this will help curtail slimeware ridden sites from peddling their wares. But it will be interesting to see how Google rates some of its own products, including the potentially risky Google Desktop."

In my opinion it's like saying I am a risk because I have arms. Potentially I could strangle someone with them. :-P

Yeah, as a Brit I always wondered why the US constitution had to explicitly give the right to wear T-shirts; over here we take that as a given. ;-)
