To be honest, I don’t care that my IP is stored along side my search results. Any search result I do (and the resulting clicks from it) are stored — via opt-in — in Google Web Search History. As for the privacy policy, I don’t think I’ve ever read a privacy policy from beginning to end (although I’ve tried writing a few).
Maybe I should be more concerned, but to be honest I’d be more concerned if I knew that Google was willingly and happily working alongside the government to report possible “problem” people.
… and you feel better because you don’t know that?
Pardon my play on your wording — I don’t really think Google would do that… I mean I hope not… uh…
no, but at the same time, I can’t waste my time on worrying about what I don’t know.
I hope Google would be more responsible then that, but I like the services they offer and they haven’t done anything that I can really disagree with (aside from going public and the censorship in China issue) from a business perspective or a political perspective.
I take it you’re not familiar with National Security Letters.
No, I wasn’t. I had heard of them but really hadn’t given them much thought in the past two years.
Unfortunately I have. I was being somewhat sarcastic.
