QUOTE(echo.defender @ Jul 2 2006, 04:06 PM)  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. How do they know who's post code it is? I mean, I could enter random post codes, and they wouldn't know who's the post codes were. In truth, movements seem more worried about Google earth. If I recall correctly, the Australian government really doesn't like it. I think they do record data about what you search for etc, but they mainly use it to target ads. I trust Google more with the information because they seem unwilling to share it with other organisations/governments. This post has been edited by Yacoby: Sep 16 2006, 02:01 PM |

Why is that such a surprise? What Gmail is doing should probably be more worrying. But it seems people don't seem to care.
I love Gmail myself, it's simply the best piece of software I've used in quite a while. It could always be better, but it is already very very goooooooooood. James |

[size=7]Hi. I don't feel google is a spy as they are a huge database themselves and if they would be doing this they would be betraying the trsut of millions of its users. Please don't accuse google. Thanks.[size=7][font=Arial Black]

As it has grown, Google has found itself the focus of various controversies related to its business practices and services. For example, Google Print's effort to digitize millions of books and make the full text searchable has led to copyright disputes with the Authors Guild. Google's cooperation with the governments of China, France and Germany to filter search results in accordance to regional laws and regulations has led to claims of censorship. Google's persistent cookie and other information collection practices have led to concerns over user privacy. A number of governments have raised concerns about the security risks posed by geographic details provided by Google Earth's satellite imaging. Moreover, Google advertisers have filed several lawsuits against the company in 2006, claiming that up to 14-20% of the clicks on the bills were in fact fraudulent or invalid.

If google did record this kind of data someone would already have profen this. THis is not hard to install a packet sniffer and see what connections your computer is making and what data is going in and out.
By the way... send robots to control us? Are you serious? o.o |

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?
