Google's Gdrive Raises Instant Privacy Concerns

An anonymous reader writes "The rumor mill is already raging over the potential functionality and capacity for Google's online storage service we talked about earlier this week (the company says 'it makes sense' to put all its Web apps under the same umbrella). But Internet rights advocates are now crying foul over liability issues, a probable lack of encryption and a cash-cow model that could scan all your personal data for advertising keywords. From the article: "'Google would be wise to offer users an option to encrypt your information,' says Nimrod Kozlovski, a professor of Internet law at Tel Aviv University. 'It really needs to have really detailed explanations of what the legal expectations are for storing your info.'""

Trust the large corporation

[Anonymous Coward]

They offer free dinner, they listen to hip music, and they like Macs. Even if they are now of the same size and controlled by the same market forces as evil corporations, they're good. They even say they'll do no evil. Trust them. Trust them with your data. Trust them with your money. You are getting very sleepy. You will soon be completely asleep. Just keep going to your job, spending too much money on things you don't need, and making other people vast fortunes they will use to keep you locked outside their compounds when the air, water and land become too toxic to live on. Sleep. Sleep forever.
