My longer post on how to protect yourself against Google is coming soon, but in the meantime here is another article about Google and privacy:
Judge Louis L. Stanton, presiding over the federal court for the Southern District of New York, has ordered Google to give Viacom the IP addresses and other data about the users who watched YouTube videos, either on YouTube itself or embedded on a third party website.
If you watched a copyrighted video on YouTube, Viacom is going to have your IP address and other data about you. Google has a lot of data about you.
More about the story on eff.org.
It doesn’t matter how nice most of the people at Google are; the collection of too much data about individual users by one company is dangerous.
