Google’s new privacy policy

I saw the following on Doghousediaries and thought it was highly pertinent.  Christopher was really hot on privacy and trust on the internet, and would have been seething about some of the latest developments – not only this one from Google, but also the cack-handed US attempts to censor the web via SOPA etc.

    Google is now only marginally better than Corel who have to following in their ‘user agreement’ for Paintshop Pro

    Corel is entitled to:
    – install updates without giving the user any notice
    – define some updates as ‘mandatory updates’ and revoke the user’s licence if they are not installed within ten days
    – monitor how you use the product and to share that information with anybody they feel like
    – share your personal information with anybody they feel like
    – access, utilise and alter the “existing functionality” of your computer, including changing any default settings they choose to.
