Last Day To Tell Google To Forget You

Posted by samzenpus on from the please-don't-write-or-call dept.

itwbennett writes "Google's new privacy policy will consolidate all your data at google.com — unless you erase it first. And today is your last day to do it. The change goes into effect tomorrow. Which is why the helpful folks at EFF have posted some simple instructions showing how to delete your web history at Google."

    I already did this years ago, but thank you for pointing it out to those who were not aware of such a setting. I'm sure the government is still monitoring all of this through Echelon though, which makes this meaningless.

    Did I say that out loud? Shit sorry.

      Ha! Echelon! Didn't you get the memo? The project was renamed about 8 years ago, now it's called Facebook.

    They're just making it easier for when they dupe this story next week. They won't even have to change the summary at all!

    You obviously haven't read the fine-print in their new agreement. One of the updates is that GoogleCalendar is changing. Months always start on Thursdays from now on. And there will be 14 months per year. Google's moon-base is still working on speeding up the moon's revolution, but it should be ready [out of Beta] by the end of 2012.
