Google would not be allowed to spy on people its against many US and UK rules. They would be breaching Privacy and do you have any proof that google are spying on us?

QUOTE well, so what if google is a spy?!? so what if they know everything about you. where you live, what you do, what are your hobbies.. i mean what are we like some criminals or something surfing the internet so we are afraid of spys. for google spying on us can only help us, by easier searches, better ranking pages etc.. only criminals should be afraid of spys.. are you one? no (although the most highest crime I've commited is downloading 3 gigs of songs and I hackd my parents pc's  )...but still I don't like being followed around th net like a child

QUOTE(echo.defender @ Jul 2 2006, 04:06 PM)  Yesterday, there was friends of my parents that went at our home to eat. They talked about google and stuff like google earth. When you enter your ZIP/postal code in google earth, they know it and they write it down. This mean that they are writting a HUGE database about everyone and Do you agree?(Vote in the poll and leave a comment) i dont think they are spy its very good atleast with it the whole world will be on the net and it will be very good in map reading. we can then locate a place without even travelling to that area its good but i will try to check wether my own city will be listed on that google earth. i know it works with Zip code so i dont consider it a spy but they code is stored in their database for future reference. |

Google is definitely a spy, it collects all our information and tracks our internet usage through its Google Toolbar and Google Search. It also reads our GMail mails and keeps a history of all our activites with our Google Account in their servers.
They use all this information for their ads and get more revenue. |

Ok, maybe not collecting your zip code, which even if it was applicable, would only mean our American buddies...Really, Google doesn't have no need of my zip code in Greece....even the one I have in Spain...
Still, I really think that there's a collection-database where they are collecting ad-sensitive information, for example, what ads you click, what preferences you have...And that's common news... Unfortunately, even If we want to believe that way, internet is not thaaat anonymous as we would like to think...Especially for the people who know how it works and have the knowledge and tools to build....tools-again that can penetrate any system...(No matter how evolved, secure it is) |

Every company collects private data, it's nothing special. So google is just as much a spy as any other website on the internet such as Microsoft or Yahoo is.
