Google and privacy
And there I was, comfortably on my Gmail account, reading my feeds on Google Reader, checking the thousands of comments I get on my Youtube videos. Never will I use Microsoft's Bing, for I know that the results are terribly messed up in favor of Microsoft itself. And now, I'm reconsidering allowing most of my data to be handled by Google. Why?
Google's CEO made a very disturbing statement, and then did something bad to people that disagreed:
Google CEO says privacy doesn't matter
Google CEO: Secrets are for filthy people
CNET: We've been blackballed by Google
I wonder if they have a bot taking down blogs that disagree with their point of view. If they don't, I suggest we use their services to complain about having our privacy disrespected. Also make sure to get the Targeted Advertising Cookie Opt-Out plugin for Firefox. Be safe.

Wow, as someone increasingly using all Google products myself, this is quite thought provoking - especially the hypocrisy of the CEO. Thanks for the post.
