Google Protects What's Left Of Your Privacy

0 views

There has been plenty of discussion lately on Google and their privacy policy. In a recent blog post Matt Cutts expressed his personal opinion on the issue.

He raised the point that

"With Google if you clear cookies and turn off your cable modem for a minute or two, you'll usually get a completely new IP address. Google would have no idea that it's the same person, but your ISP would still know."

He goes on to argue that the information Google collects is used to create better services for its users, while other companies collect data only for their own benefit. He sums the issue up by writing,"We are moving into a future where what we do, where we go, what we spend, what we pay attention to, will be mined constantly and by everyone.

"Would we rather have this done in an invisible back office, where we can pretend it isn't happening? Or would we rather that those people collecting this kind of data build useful services with it, like Google is doing?"
