Google Makes It Official

August 10, 2006

4.11p: The good people at google have made it official. The greatest threat to web privacy is not stupidity, rather it is the American government. Yes, AOL’s voluntary release of 650,000 users’ search records was a big mistake, but google sees “…government intrusions rather than accidental public disclosures of data as the greatest threat to online privacy.” Hey I’m inclined to agree. Never used AOL, but I know for a fact that the CIA is recording all of my key strokes.
