Privacy Group Gives Google Lowest Possible Grade
The Washington Post is reporting on a finding by London-based group Privacy International. In a new report, they find that Google has some of the worst privacy-protection practices anywhere on the web, giving them the lowest possible grade. "While a number of other Internet companies have troubling policies, none comes as close to Google to 'achieving status as an endemic threat to privacy,' Privacy International said in an explanation of its findings. In a statement from one of its lawyers, Google said it aggressively protects its users' privacy and stands behind its track record. In its most conspicuous defense of user privacy, Google last year successfully fought a U.S. Justice Department subpoena demanding to review millions of search requests."
The reason that this was modded down may be due to those who followed the link. I think that the link aside, the commenter has a very good point. I also think the link makes the good point that 9/11 was most likely an inside job. What I don't understand is how Google's privacy policy could have prevented 9/11. I believe the link is non-sequitur to the argument, influencing the discerning mod to disapprove.
I've seen a lot of things, but I've never been a witness.
Yes, the look on Bush's face when told "America is under attack" was the look of someone who had planned the whole damn thing. What a crock of shit.
