架線的編輯： Google有我們全部在它的網
星期天， 2009年3月29日
在25個英國的鎮顯示streetscapes的360度相片-的Google的新的街道視圖服務-在做了它得到頁的一個挑戰被校對 架線 辦公室這個星期。 首先，我們在一條裙子察覺雜誌的副編輯在西部倫敦街道(是公平的，他堅持它是蘇格蘭男用短裙)。 然後我們發現Google的面孔弄髒的算法在貝爾法斯特壁畫有異常pixellated Bobby沙子的面孔，據推測保護什麼軟件假設是他的保密性。 但西蒙Davies，跑一個一般可估計的競選小組告訴了Privacy International，不發笑。 街道視圖， Davies先生抱怨對信息委員這個星期， ？創造了窘態和困厄許多事例？和他如此承諾帶來一個法律判例案件。 為什麼？ 15年老抱怨到保密性國際Google攫取了運載滑板的他？他的父母有哪些明確地禁止了他從使用？; oh和一個已婚人被抓住了？講話在接近的接近度與一個女性同事？。 忘記ID兒童的脫氧核糖核酸卡片，記數器和政府拖網我們的電子郵件-在街道視圖，我們最後辨認了最後威脅對英國的公民』自由。 很好，沒有，實際上。 雖然一些那些拍攝了退出性商店或是病在客棧停車場也許由Google的公眾聯繫機器提示了恐慌的刪除，根本公共球形遺骸的公眾。 仍然儘管法國樣式保密性立法爬行侵略，你可能合法地奪取圖像從和的英國的公開共同性-，因此那些的它是荒唐為偷偷地走工作打破香煙或者揮動在公共汽車站，聲稱一臺通過的照相機莫名其妙地破壞了他們的權利。 绝對保密性的權利公開？ 克服它。 不，自Google的真正的公開威脅是它膨脹的標度作為我們委託機要信息史無前例的一刈幅的草的一家無條理的贏利尋找的公司。 什麼簡單地曾經是一家妙有效查尋公司現在擔當一本個人日曆，電子郵件檔案，我們的文字處理文件商店，錄影貯藏庫，一項流動電話跟蹤的服務，路旅行日程-我們的醫療成見、物理運動和政治leanings一臺警惕顯示器。 And that’s fine, provided Google is transparent and sensitive about how it collects and uses our personal data, and that it guards it unfailingly. But as Privacy International pointed out, after a survey found Google to be the worst-ranked leading internet company for respecting user privacy, it is secretive, even hostile, about the use to which it puts our data, often for an indefinite length of time. That is something that should concern us all - especially with the boom in cloud computing. Previously, we stored most of our data on computers that we controlled in our homes or workplaces. Today, as we rely increasingly on a ?cloud? of distant servers to host our e-mail or calculate our taxes, we are shifting such information at an unprecedented scale to networks administered by private corporations. So let’s say you’ve archived your family photos on Google’s Picasa, your confidential accounts on Google Docs and revealed your sexual preferences during searches of Google Images. Admit it: you have no idea how this might be used to help advertisers to target you personally, or governments to profile you surreptitiously. I write as an admirer of a company whose innovations have enriched our digital lives. But I worry that its dominance is outpacing governments’ ability to challenge it. Two years ago I warned about the online trail Google collected about you ?for ever?, all linked to a personally identifiable Internet Protocol address. I suggested that their proposed $3.1 billion acquisition of DoubleClick, the ad-serving business built on ?understanding? internet users, gave a worrying indication of its corporate thinking. DoubleClick had made proud assurances about users’ privacy protection, until its CEO was forced to admit the company had made a ?mistake by planning to merge names with anonymous user activity across websites in the absence of government and industry privacy standards?. Earlier this month, Google launched ?interest-based advertising? - what others call behavioural targeting - serving advertisements to users based on their online activity. Yet Google is not simply monitoring what you do at its own pages - it is also tracking your interests as you access other unrelated websites. A key benefit, it says, is that it will be able to serve you adverts that more accurately reflect your interests. But do you really want one company to know so much about you? Privately held data has a habit of leaking out. As recently as March 7, a security flaw meant that private papers stored at Google Docs could be accessed by unauthorised users. Mistakes happen - but the volume of data that the firm holds makes it a target for malicious hackers. Then there is the immutable law of the digital age that data collected for one purpose may be used for purposes never originally intended. We have no idea how future technologies will exploit our historic data trail in ways that may disadvantage us. Will life insurers penalise our past medical search queries, or the tax office fret that we are aspiring to products beyond our declared income? What we do know is that one database has an innate desire to merge with another to create ever more detailed personal profiles. Wired journalists have been investigating how broadcast, telecoms and internet businesses are planning to mine our viewing and clicking data as never before. Already, your TV set-top box can provide a vast information trail, allowing analysts to know whether you’ve fallen asleep, who in the family is using the remote according to how they navigate the menu, and what (based on the shows and ads they view) they want out of life. Now, let’s imagine how much more powerful this information would be if linked to other personal databases - not just your internet trail, but your purchase history at the supermarket. Add to this near-future scenario interactive digital billboards that recognise faces and serve targeted ads based on what the database knows about you. And then crunch in real-time mapping of your precise location, based on signals emitted from your mobile phone. All, of course, benign services that will benefit the consumer by targeting special offers when in the vicinity of a store … But have we debated sufficiently how we want such information to be used, and what is being done to ensure that it does not fall into the wrong hands? Google - did I mention? - has a rather cool mobile-phone tracking program called Latitude, which lets you know where your friends are according to signals emitted from their phones. Again, all perfectly fun, and Google makes both parties opt in to being tracked. But let’s just imagine that a jealous partner gains access to your unattended phone and enables Latitude without your knowledge. Or government bureaucrats, never satisfied with the extent of their power to track the populace… This is the moment for us to demand clear answers from the tech industry’s data crunchers, not only Google, and to educate ourselves about what we are giving away. Because when one unaccountable company knows where we are, who we’re e-mailing, what’s in our work documents, what we’re buying and thinking - well, that starts to add up to real information.

i think google if an arm of or atleast infiltrated by the CIA as James Woolsey’s venture capital firm has given 100’s of million in dollars to them. See links below.
I would have to say that if the former director of CIA under Regan and Bush? is involved in venture capital in the forex markets, gold and Google he is up to no good and we no longer have any free markets. Gain capital are crooks as I dealt with them that is how I found out Wolsey Invested in a very small forex firm that now advertizes on bloomberg. The CIA is in the gold, and forex markets and is manipulating them and all these tech co. are all covers to spy on the US public. That is my personal opinion
