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."

Maybe off-topic, but it's awesome and I feel the need to spread it... With google and all that, hmm it's getting scary how much info is amassed and outside of our control. Ripe for abuse and corruption. So what's new about it? TOR seems like a good idea now.
I think we have a new threat to the life on earth.
The Goverment should make the extraterrestrial volcano erupt agency in order to keep a detailed log of volcanic activity in other planets, because we face the real threat that a volcano can spit magma and dust into our beloved world
and wipe all the existing life in here.

Oh, so if you *choose* to consume something arguably a lot more harmless than alcohol, then that's *abuse*? By what measure?
