  • Big Brother's Watching You...Google?

    From MSN News:

    Google rebuffs feds over access to search data

    So what do you think? Should this be allowed?

    I don't trust the feds.

      Then again, a lot of people don't trust Google, either.

      I love 'em, and for saying 'no' to the feds? Double yay. But while Gmail is the bee's knees, part of me yearns for the days when Google did just search, and did search well.

      Sure, Google Earth, Google Maps, all these add ons are fantastic. But their latest move into more desktop software and stuff... it sounds like feature bloat, growing too much too fast, and biting off more than they can chew.

      And if some day we're all using GooglePCs to navigate the Googleverse, the kind of information that one publicly-held company will have access to will be staggering... and would make Big Brother's privacy invasion threat seem manini by comparison.

        Heheheheh. To play Devil's Advocate, though, wouldn't it cut down on the number of perverts who are searching for porn sites on the 'net if they knew Big Bro was watching them? And then the Government could tax all those porn sites based on the number of clicks they received?

        (Seriously, though, I think it's none of the Feds' business until and unless the Constitution gets changed and I am glad that Google didn't back down, just like some librarians didn't back down when confronted by the Gubmint).
