You're forgetting the whole telco immunity thing and the uproar over AT&T's funneling all traffic through listening posts? Simply put, "been there; done that".

| | said by Mr Matt:Any government agency that wants to snoop on your activities has to go to only one place - Google This is true, but if Google ever becomes evil and rolls over like Yahoo! (China) or AT&T (USA), then it will be game over for Google.
I predict they will not, at least in the medium term. As a corollary, I expect congressional witch hunts to break out at any time, targeting Google. | |

Elbonia | Good point Mr Matt - it's about data-mining more than redirection ads.
@eugenegill: I think you've missed something with "if Google ever becomes evil and rolls over like Yahoo! (China) or AT&T (USA)" -
- Is datamining your online activity really that much less evil than spying for governments?
- How many little invasions does it take before a company "becomes evil"?
- If governments ask for DNS data for an IP address, and Google has it, they will get it. | |

| | Privacy, in general, is starting to disappear. People are willingly listing all to most of their personal information on the internet anyways (Facebook.)
People need to wise up and be a little more discrete on the internet. | |
