Google Privacy Channel Launches On YouTube

0 views

The bigger Google gets, the more worried privacy advocates grow.  So, in an effort to make its policies and opinions more transparent, the search giant has launched a new “Google Privacy Channel” on YouTube.

Does anyone else smell an oxymoron?  Still, it’s hard to complain about the channel itself - although it’s not exactly entertaining, (Online Video Watch writes, “it makes for some of the driest content imaginable”) it’s there for those who want it, and isn’t required viewing for those who don’t.
